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

Current Game Settings:
• Main Numbers: Pick 5 from 1-50
• Bonus Numbers: Pick 1 from 1-9
• Ticket Price: 0.000088 BNB

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 is B-Lucky's unique feature that lets you cover multiple number combinations with a single grid.

How Many Tickets Will I Get?

Main Numbers Selected	Minimum Required	Tickets Created	Cost Multiplier
5	5	1	1x
6	5	6	6x
7	5	21	21x
8	5	56	56x
9	5	126	126x
10	5	252	252x

Power Play Advantages

✅ Better Coverage

• Increase your odds significantly

✅ Convenience

Power Play Considerations

⚠️ Higher Cost

• Each ticket is charged separately

• Can quickly multiply your investment

• Always check the total before confirming

⚠️ Prize Sharing

• If you win with multiple tickets in the same tier, you compete with yourself

• Your prize is split among your winning tickets

• Net effect: Similar to winning with one ticket

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:

1. Random Selection

• Let the system pick for you

• Completely unbiased approach

• As good as any other method mathematically

1. Meaningful Numbers

• Birthdays, anniversaries, lucky numbers

• Personally significant

• Makes playing more fun

1. Statistical Patterns

• Hot numbers (frequently drawn recently)

• Cold numbers (rarely drawn)

• Note: Past results don't influence future draws

1. Balanced Spread

• Mix of low and high numbers

• Even distribution across range

• Avoid clustering (e.g., all numbers 1-10)

1. 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

1

Pay in BNB or WBNB

2

System converts BNB to WBNB automatically

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

1

Fill multiple grids with different numbers

• Bonus: [1]

Grid 3:
