Legal Disclaimer: We do not provide legal advice regarding the legality of lottery participation in your jurisdiction. Consult with qualified legal counsel if you have questions about local laws and regulations.

4. Game Mechanics

4.1 Betting Process

Each lottery entry requires a payment of exactly 1 satoshi (0.00000001 BTC). All payments must be processed exclusively through the Lightning Network. Players select a unique 8-digit number ranging from 00000001 to 99999999. Multiple participants may select the same number, creating shared winning opportunities.

4.2 Betting Schedule

4.3 Drawing Schedule

Lottery drawings occur automatically every 100 Bitcoin blocks, approximately once every 16-17 hours. The exact timing depends on Bitcoin network hash rate and block discovery times.

5. Winning Number Determination

5.1 Cryptographic Process

The winning number is determined through a provably fair process using Bitcoin Block 100's hash. The complete block hash is obtained, cleared of letters, and the last 8 digits produce the winning number between 00000001 and 99999999.

6. Prize Distribution

6.1 Jackpot Structure

The jackpot consists of 100% of all valid bet payments collected during the betting period. 86% of the total jackpot is distributed to winners across six prize tiers, with 14% retained for operational expenses.

6.2 Six-Tier Prize System

Prize distribution:

6.3 Matching Methodology

All prize tier matches are determined by comparing digits from the right side of both the winning number and participant's chosen number.

6.4 Payout Distribution

If only one participant matches the required digits for a specific tier, they receive the entire allocation for that tier. If multiple participants match, that tier's allocation is divided equally among all winners.

6.5 Rollover Mechanism

If no participant matches the required digits for any specific tier, that tier's allocation rolls over to the subsequent lottery round, creating potentially larger prizes in future draws.
