Prize tiers
Understand how prizes work and what you can win with different number combinations.
How Prize Tiers Work
B-Lucky uses a multi-tier prize system where different combinations of matching numbers win different prize amounts.
The Concept
Think of prize tiers as different levels of winning:
🏆 Tier 1 (Jackpot) → Match ALL numbers
💎 Tier 2 → Match many numbers
💰 Tier 3 → Match some numbers
🎯 Tier 4 → Match a few numbers
... and so onEach tier has:
Match requirements - How many numbers you need to match
Prize allocation - What percentage of the prize pool it gets
Winner sharing - Prizes split among all winners in that tier
Match Requirements
To win a prize, you need to match the winning numbers. But which numbers and how many matter!
Understanding Matches
Main Number Matches:
The winning main numbers drawn
Your main numbers that match them
Example: 3 out of 5 main numbers match
Bonus Number Matches:
The winning bonus numbers drawn
Your bonus numbers that match them
Example: 1 out of 1 bonus numbers match
Combined Matching: Your prize tier is determined by your combination of main + bonus matches.
Example Match Scenarios
Scenario: Game requires 5 main numbers + 1 bonus numbers
Winning Numbers:
Main: [7, 14, 23, 35, 42]
Bonus: [5]
Your Ticket:
Main: [7, 14, 23, 35, 48]
Bonus: [5]
Matches:
Main: 4 matches (7, 14, 23, 35) ✓
Bonus: 1 match (5) ✓
Result: 4+1 tier (4 main + 1 bonus)
Prize Tier Structure
Different rounds may have different tier structures, but here's a typical example:
Example Prize Tier Breakdown
1
5
1
57,00%
2

5,70%

8,55%

11,40%
Note: Actual tier structure depends on game settings and may vary by round
How Prize Share Works
Each tier gets a fixed percentage of the total prize pool:
Example with 100 BNB Prize Pool:
Tier 1 (Jackpot): 57,00 BNB available
Tier 2: 5,70 BNB available
Tier 3: 2,85 BNB available
And so on...
If multiple winners: The tier's prize is split equally among all winners.
The Jackpot
The jackpot is the ultimate prize - awarded when you match all required numbers (main + bonus).
Jackpot Characteristics
🎰 Biggest Prize
Typically 40-60% of the total prize pool
Can be massive, especially after rollovers
Life-changing amounts possible
🎯 Hardest to Win
Requires matching every single number
Lowest odds, highest reward
The grand prize everyone dreams of
📈 Rollover Potential
If no one wins the jackpot, it rolls over
Rolled-over jackpots are added to the next round
Can create enormous prize pools
Jackpot Rollover Explained
Example:
This is how massive jackpots are created!
Partial Wins (Lower Tiers)
Not winning the jackpot doesn't mean you didn't win! Partial wins are where most prizes are claimed.
What Are Partial Wins?
Any prize tier below the jackpot is considered a partial win:
Match 4 out of 5 main numbers
Match 3 out of 5 with bonus numbers
Various combinations depending on tier structure
Why Partial Wins Matter
✅ Much Better Odds
Far more likely to win partial prizes
Multiple ways to win something
Regular wins keep things exciting
✅ Meaningful Prizes
Still significant prize amounts
Can be multiples of your ticket cost
Profitable when using Power Play strategically
✅ Multiple Tier Wins
With Power Play, you might win in multiple tiers
Different ticket combinations = different tier wins
Maximize your return
Partial Win Example
Your Power Play Grid:
Selected 7 main numbers (creates 21 tickets)
Selected 1 bonus numbers
Winning Draw:
5 of your main numbers were drawn
1 of your bonus numbers was drawn
Result:
Some tickets match 5+1 (Tier 2)
Some tickets match 5+0 (Tier 3)
Some tickets match 4+1 (Tier 5)
You win in multiple tiers!
Prize Calculation
Understanding how your exact prize amount is calculated:
The Formula
Detailed Example
Setup:
Total Prize Pool: 1,000 BNB
Tier 2 Allocation: 15% = 150 BNB
Winners in Tier 2: 3 people
Calculation:
Each of the 3 winners receives 50 BNB.
Power Play Prize Calculation
Special case: If you used Power Play and multiple of your tickets won in the same tier:
Setup:
You bought 21 tickets (Power Play)
3 of your tickets won in Tier 3
Tier 3 pool: 100 BNB
Total winners in Tier 3: 10 tickets (including yours)
Calculation:
You receive 30 BNB for your 3 winning tickets in that tier.
Prize Fees
A small fee is applied to claimed prizes to support protocol sustainability.
How Prize Fees Work
When you claim a prize:
Prize Fee (typically 5-10%) is deducted (locked per round)
Fee goes to protocol revenue (House Funding + Staking)
Remaining amount is sent to your wallet
Example:
Why fees?
Sustains House Funding rewards
Supports $LUCKY staking yields
Maintains protocol operations
Keeps the ecosystem healthy
Transparency: Fee percentages are shown in game settings before you play.
Unclaimed Prizes
Prizes must be claimed within specific time windows. What happens if they're not?
Claim Deadlines
Each prize tier has claim periods:
Partial Wins:
Shorter claim window (e.g., 7-14 days)
Must submit and claim within this period
Jackpot:
Longer claim window (e.g., 30-60 days)
Extended time for big prizes
Exact duration depends on game settings
What Happens to Unclaimed Prizes
Important: Always claim your prizes before the deadline! The dApp shows clear timers.

Allocation Breakdown
Example with 1,000 BNB total prize pool:
Jackpot Tier:
50% = 500 BNB
All numbers match
Upper Tiers (2-4):
33% = 330 BNB
Close matches with bonus numbers
Lower Tiers (5-8):
17% = 170 BNB
Fewer matches or no bonus numbers
Exact percentages depend on game settings

Best Case Scenario
Ultimate Power Play Win:
This is the dream scenario - but remember, odds apply!
Understanding Odds
Let's be realistic about winning chances:
Jackpot Odds
Jackpot odds depend on the number range and required matches:
Example: Pick 5 from 50 + 2 from 12
Main combinations: 2,118,760
Bonus combinations: 66
Total combinations: ~140 million
Odds: ~1 in 140 million
With Power Play: Buying more tickets improves your odds proportionally:
1 ticket: 1 in 140M
10 tickets: 10 in 140M = 1 in 14M
100 tickets: 100 in 140M = 1 in 1.4M
Partial Win Odds
Much better odds for lower tiers!
Example odds:
Match 3 numbers: ~1 in 1,000
Match 4 numbers: ~1 in 10,000
Match 5 numbers (no bonus): ~1 in 100,000
This is why partial wins matter! You're far more likely to win something.
Realistic Expectations
Playing Smart
Remember:
🎲 Every draw is independent
📊 Past results don't predict future wins
💰 Most players win partial prizes or nothing
🎰 Jackpots are rare but possible
🎯 Entertainment value matters
Budget wisely:
Only spend what you can afford to lose
Treat it as entertainment, not income
Celebrate small wins
Don't chase losses
Prize Claiming Process
Found out you won? Here's what happens next:
Special Scenarios
No Jackpot Winner
All Tickets Win Jackpot
If somehow everyone who played won the jackpot:
Jackpot pool is split equally among all winners
Each winner gets: (Jackpot Pool) ÷ (Number of Winners)
This is extremely unlikely but theoretically possible
Single Ticket Wins Everything
One lucky player matches all numbers:
Receives the entire jackpot amount
Still pays the standard prize fee
Life-changing moment! 🎊
