Playing the lottery
Master the art of ticket selection and maximize your winning chances.
How to Buy Ticket or Bundles
Buying tickets on B-Lucky is straightforward, but understanding your options helps you make strategic choices.
Basic Ticket Purchase
Understanding the Grid
The lottery grid is where you select your lucky numbers. Think of it as a digital lottery card.
Two Types of Numbers
Every ticket requires two types of numbers:
Main Numbers ⚪
The primary numbers for your ticket
Example: Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 50
These are the core of your combination
Bonus Numbers ⭐
Additional numbers that boost your winning tier
Example: Pick 1 numbers from 1 to 9
These determine higher prize tiers
Note: The exact requirements (how many numbers, from what range) depend on the current game settings.
Example Grid Configuration
Your Grid:
Main Numbers: [7, 14, 23, 35, 42]
Bonus Numbers: [5]
Cost: 0.000088 BNB + gas
Single Ticket vs. Multiple Tickets in a Bundle
When filling your grid, you have two approaches:
Single Ticket (Standard Play)
What it is:
Select exactly the required number of main numbers
Select exactly the required bonus numbers
Pay for one ticket
Example:
Required: 5 main numbers
You pick: 5 main numbers (7, 14, 23, 35, 42)
Result: 1 ticket
Cost: 1x ticket price
Best for:
First-time players
Budget-conscious players
Simple, straightforward play
Multiple Tickets in a Bundle (Power Pick)
What it is:
Select more main numbers than required
The system automatically creates multiple ticket combinations
Pay for all generated tickets
Example:
Required: 5 main numbers
You pick: 7 main numbers (7, 14, 23, 35, 42, 48, 50)
Result: 21 tickets (all possible 5-number combinations from your 7)
Cost: 21x ticket price
How it works: The system generates every possible combination of 5 numbers from your selected 7 numbers:
Ticket 1: [7, 14, 23, 35, 42]
Ticket 2: [7, 14, 23, 35, 48]
Ticket 3: [7, 14, 23, 35, 50]
... (18 more combinations)
Best for:
Experienced players
Players who want better odds
Those willing to invest more

Power Play Example
Scenario:
Game requires: 5 main numbers from 1-50
Ticket price: 0.000088 BNB
You really like: 7, 14, 23, 35, 42, 48
Option A: Single Ticket
Pick exactly 5: [7, 14, 23, 35, 42]
Cost: 0.000088 BNB
Tickets: 1
Option B: Power Play with 6 Numbers
Pick 6: [7, 14, 23, 35, 42, 48]
Cost: 0.000528 BNB (6 tickets)
Your grid includes:
[7, 14, 23, 35, 42]
[7, 14, 23, 35, 48]
[7, 14, 23, 42, 48]
[7, 14, 35, 42, 48]
[7, 23, 35, 42, 48]
[14, 23, 35, 42, 48]
Now you're covered even if 48 is drawn instead of 42!
Number Selection Strategies
While lottery numbers are drawn randomly, here are some approaches players use:
Random Selection
Let the system pick for you
Completely unbiased approach
As good as any other method mathematically
Meaningful Numbers
Birthdays, anniversaries, lucky numbers
Personally significant
Makes playing more fun
Statistical Patterns
Hot numbers (frequently drawn recently)
Cold numbers (rarely drawn)
Note: Past results don't influence future draws
Balanced Spread
Mix of low and high numbers
Even distribution across range
Avoid clustering (e.g., all numbers 1-10)
Power Play Strategy
Select a core set of "confident" numbers
Add 1-2 "maybe" numbers
Let Power Play cover the combinations
Remember: Every number has an equal chance in each draw. The lottery uses Chainlink VRF for truly random, unpredictable results.
Buying with BNB
B-Lucky accepts BNB directly from your wallet. Here's what happens:
Payment Process
Why WBNB?
WBNB (Wrapped BNB) is a token version of BNB that's easier for smart contracts to handle:
✅ More secure for smart contract operations
✅ Enables instant, atomic transactions
✅ Industry-standard approach
✅ Fully backed 1:1 by BNB
For you: The conversion happens automatically. You just pay with BNB!
Multiple Grids in One Transaction
Want to buy different number combinations? You can submit multiple grids at once!
How It Works
Example
Grid 1:
Main: [5, 12, 18, 27, 39]
Bonus: [3]
Grid 2:
Main: [2, 15, 22, 31, 44]
Bonus: [1]
Grid 3:
Main: [9, 16, 23, 33, 47]
Bonus: [6]
Submit all three grids → Pay once for gas → Three separate tickets registered
Benefits:
Save gas fees (one transaction vs. three)
Faster submission
Cover more number combinations
