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 on

Each 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

Tier	Main Matches	Bonus Matches	Prize Share
1	5	1	57,00%
2	5	0	5,70%
3	4	1	2,85%
4	4	0	3,80%
5	3	1	5,70%
6	3	0	8,55%
7	2	1	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

1

What happens when there's no jackpot winner

No one matches all numbers in the current round.

2

Jackpot amount is preserved

The jackpot amount is not distributed and is kept for the next round.

3

Amount rolls over to the next round

The preserved amount is added to the next round's prize pool.

4

Next round's jackpot = New entries + Rolled-over amount

New ticket sales plus the rollover form the new jackpot.

5

Jackpot grows until someone wins

The process repeats and the jackpot can become very large.

Example:

Round 1: 100 BNB jackpot → No winner → Rolls over
Round 2: 150 BNB new + 100 BNB rollover = 250 BNB jackpot → No winner → Rolls over  
Round 3: 200 BNB new + 250 BNB rollover = 450 BNB jackpot → Winner! 🎉

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

Your Prize = (Tier Prize Pool) ÷ (Number of Winners in Tier)

Detailed Example

Setup:

• Total Prize Pool: 1,000 BNB

• Tier 2 Allocation: 15% = 150 BNB

• Winners in Tier 2: 3 people

Calculation:

Prize per winner = 150 BNB ÷ 3 winners = 50 BNB each

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:

Prize per ticket = 100 BNB ÷ 10 tickets = 10 BNB per ticket
Your prize = 10 BNB × 3 tickets = 30 BNB total

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:

Gross Prize: 100 BNB
Prize Fee (5%): -5 BNB
Net Prize: 95 BNB (sent to you)

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

1

Prize becomes "unclaimed"

If prizes aren't claimed by the deadline, they are marked as unclaimed.

2

Reallocation process begins

Unclaimed funds enter a reallocation process.

3

Funds roll over to future rounds

The unclaimed amounts are added to future prize pools.

4

Increases future prize pools

Rolled-over unclaimed funds boost future jackpots and prizes.

Important: Always claim your prizes before the deadline! The dApp shows clear timers.

Jackpot Tier:

• 50% = 500 BNB

• All numbers match

Upper Tiers (2-4):

• 33% = 330 BNB

• Close matches with bonus numbers

Lower Tiers (5-8):

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:

1

Submit Your Winning Ticket

• Declare your win

• Register your winning ticket on-chain

• Done during submission window

2

Claim Your Prize

• After submission period ends

• Prize is calculated and sent to you

• Done during claim window

---

Special Scenarios

No Jackpot Winner

1

Jackpot amount is preserved

When no one wins the jackpot, the jackpot amount is not distributed.

2

Partial wins are still distributed

Lower-tier prizes are paid out as usual.

3

Jackpot rolls over to next round

The preserved jackpot is added to the next round.

4

Next round has a bigger jackpot

The next round combines new entries with the rollover.

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! 🎊
