Claiming Prizes
Your complete guide to submitting winning tickets and claiming prizes.
The Two-Step Process
B-Lucky uses a unique two-step process to ensure fair prize distribution and prevent gaming the system.
Why Two Steps?
Step 1: Submit Your Winning Ticket
Lock in your position in the prize tier
Step 2: Claim Your Prize
Collect your calculated prize
Receive BNB directly to your wallet
Complete the winning process
Why this design?
✅ Fair prize calculation (all winners known before distribution)
✅ Gives everyone equal opportunity
✅ Transparent winner count
Step 1: Submitting Your Winning Ticket
After winning numbers are drawn, winners must submit their tickets within a specific time window.
When to Submit
Different deadlines for different prizes:
Partial Win Tickets:
Submission window: Shorter (e.g., 6-12 hours after draw)
Must submit quickly
Timer starts when numbers are drawn
Jackpot Tickets:
Submission window: Longer (e.g., 24-48 hours after draw)
Extended time for big prizes
More time to verify and submit
Check the dApp for exact deadlines — they're clearly displayed!
How to Submit your winning ticket(s)

What Happens When You Submit

The Timeline
Why Different Windows?
Partial wins first:
Smaller prizes, less verification needed
Faster processing
Tiers without winners get put back in the prize pot faster
Jackpot later:
More time to verify big wins
Extra caution warranted for life changing prizes
Missing the Submission Window
⚠️ Critical Warning:
If you miss the submission deadline:
❌ You cannot submit anymore
❌ You cannot claim the prize
❌ Your winning ticket is forfeited
💔 Prize becomes unclaimed and gets reallocated
This is serious! Set reminders, enable notifications, check regularly.

After you submit, there's a waiting period before you can claim.
What's Happening During This Time

Claiming Multiple Prizes
If you used Power Play and won in multiple tiers, it works the same.
Multiple Tier Claims
Example scenario:
You won in Tier 3 (5 tickets)
You won in Tier 5 (10 tickets)
You won in Tier 7 (3 tickets)
Stay organized:
Claim systematically (highest to lowest)
Check off each claim as you complete it
Don't miss any tiers!
What If You Miss the Claim Deadline?
⚠️ Missing the claim deadline means:
Your prize is forfeited:
❌ You submitted but didn't claim
❌ Prize becomes "unclaimed"
❌ Funds are reallocated to future rounds
💔 You receive nothing
This is final — no appeals, no exceptions.
How to avoid this:
✅ Submit AND claim promptly
✅ Set multiple reminders
✅ Check dApp regularly
✅ Enable notifications
✅ Don't procrastinate!
Prize Reallocation
Unclaimed prizes don't disappear — they are added to the prize pool after expiry to benefit future players.
Delegation: Claiming for Others
You can claim prizes on behalf of other players (with permission).
What is Delegation?
Delegation allows:
Player A gives permission to Player B
Player B can submit/claim for Player A
Uses cryptographic signatures (EIP-712)
Secure and verifiable
Use Cases
When to use delegation:
Playing on behalf of family/friends
Managing multiple accounts
Services that buy tickets for users
Convenience and automation
