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)

1

Find your ticket

Open the "Winning Tickets" tab in the dApp to see all your winning tickets

2

Start the claim

On the ticket, press the claim prize button

3

Confirm the transaction

Approve and confirm the submission transaction in your wallet.

4

Wait for blockchain confirmation

Transaction confirmed on-chain — your ticket is now submitted.

Success! Your winning ticket is now submitted.

What Happens When You Submit

On-chain effects:

• ✅ Your ticket is marked as submitted

  • Position locked for prize claiming

• ✅ Eligible combinations count updates

  • Protocol tracks how many winners in each tier

  • Used to calculate prize splits

Submission Windows

Understanding timing is critical!

The Timeline

Draw Completed
    ↓
[Partial Win Submission Window Opens] ← 6-12 hours
    ↓
[Partial Win Submission Window Closes]
    ↓
[Jackpot Submission Window Still Open] ← Additional time
    ↓
[Jackpot Submission Window Closes]
    ↓
[Claim Period Begins]

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.

Between Submission and Claiming

After you submit, there's a waiting period before you can claim.

What's Happening During This Time

1

Collect submissions

Protocol collects all submissions from winners.

2

Count winners

Protocol counts total winners per tier.

3

Calculate prize splits

Prize splits are calculated accurately using the counts.

4

Prepare claim period

Protocol prepares the state for the claim period.

Why wait?

• Ensures all winners have submitted

• Allows accurate prize calculation

• Fair distribution among all winners

• Prevents manipulation

How Long is the Wait?

Check the dApp for the exact claim period start time!

Step 2: Claiming Your Prize

Once the claim period opens, you can collect your prize!

When to Claim

Claim Window Opens:

• After submission period fully ends

• All winners counted

• Prizes calculated

• dApp shows "Claim Now" button

Claim Window Closes:

• Partial wins: Days to weeks later

• Jackpot: Weeks to months later

• Exact deadlines in dApp

⏰ Don't wait too long! Claim before the deadline.

How to Claim

1

4

What Happens When You Claim

On-chain effects:

• ✅ Prize calculated:

  Your Prize = (Tier Prize Pool) ÷ (Winners in Tier) × (Your Winning Tickets in Tier)

• ✅ Fee deducted:

  Fee Amount = Prize × Fee Percentage
  Net Prize = Prize - Fee

• ✅ Prize sent:

  • Net prize transferred to your wallet

  • Fee sent to protocol revenue

  • All transparent on blockchain

• ✅ Your submitted entry deleted:

  • Entry marked as claimed

  • Cannot claim again

  • Prevents double-claiming

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

How Delegation Works

1

Player A (ticket owner) signs

Player A signs a delegation message and gives the signature to Player B, specifying which address receives prizes.

2

Player B (delegated) submits or claims

Player B calls submit/claim functions including Player A's signature. The transaction succeeds if the signature is valid.

3

Security controls

Signatures can be revoked; version numbers prevent replay attacks; only works for specified draws.

Revoking Delegation

1

Increment delegation version

Call incrementDelegationVersion() to invalidate all previous signatures.

2

Require new signatures

All previous signatures become invalid and new signatures are required.

3

Maintain control

Player A retains control by issuing new signatures as needed.
