Congrats to the winner,,,
How many mbtc he spent on the last game?and how many matched numbers he got?
Perhaps it is better if you give us more details about the winning tickets. As I can read on the page, there are 3 kinds of winning ticket:
1. Match 5 all numbers
2. Match 4 numbers
3. Match 3 numbers
And the prize is based on the proportion you bet of the total prize pool, could you please tell me more about this?maybe about the percentage...
Lets say I buy 10 tickets (10mbtc) one of my tickets match 5 numbers and the total prize pool is 300mbtc. How much I will get?
thanks
Great questions, thanks for posting them!
We'll publish more about this particular win if we get permission from the winner.
We built our system much like the big state-run lotteries in the USA. In our case with a pick 5, we set up the 3 prize pools of Match 3, Match 4, and Match 5. Each pool is 30% of the ticket sales plus rollover from previous drawings. In a typical state-run lottery, that number would be 16.5% because their overhead is 50%, and ours is only 10%. It doesn't change our overhead whether someone wins or not. We like to see people win, but we would like to see the rollover add up to some big prizes, too!
So for your example:
Pool: 300mBTC
You buy 1 ticket that matches all 5 numbers
If your ticket is the only one that matches all 5, you would receive 30% of 300mBTC, or 90mBTC
Since these are the early days of this particular lottery, even matching 3 is a rare event, so if you were the only ticket holder who matched 3 numbers, you'd get the same 30% of 300mBTC, or 90mBTC.
If there were 2 tickets that matched 4 numbers in the same draw, those tickets would share the 30% so each would get 15% of 300mBTC, or 45mBTC each.
And with our offer of a free play with email registration, you could win a share of the prize pool without any purchase at all!
Thanks again, and I hope we see you in the game soon.
