How CryptoDrawz Distributes Prizes

One of the most common questions we receive is about prize distribution. How do we decide who wins what? Why are the percentages set the way they are? This guide explains everything about how CryptoDrawz splits the prize pool.

The Basic Structure

Every prize pool at CryptoDrawz is distributed as follows:

90% goes to winners, 10% to operations.

Why This Distribution?

Top-Heavy for Excitement

The 45% jackpot creates life-changing wins that generate excitement. While harder to hit, the jackpot is what dreams are made of.

Multiple Winning Tiers

With 4 prize tiers, more players win something. This keeps the game engaging even when you don't hit the jackpot.

Sustainable Treasury

The 10% treasury ensures CryptoDrawz can:

Maintain platform infrastructure

Develop new features

Handle security and audits

Provide customer support

Real Example: $50,000 Prize Pool

Let's break down a $50,000 prize pool:

Jackpot (45%): $22,500

1 winner takes all: $22,500

Second Tier (25%): $12,500

5 winners: $2,500 each

10 winners: $1,250 each

Third Tier (15%): $7,500

20 winners: $375 each

50 winners: $150 each

Fourth Tier (5%): $2,500

50 winners: $50 each

100 winners: $25 each

Treasury (10%): $5,000

Operations and development

What If No One Wins a Tier?

This is where CryptoDrawz differs from many lotteries. If no one matches a particular tier:

Option A: Rollover

Unclaimed tier prizes roll into the next round's jackpot, creating bigger prizes.

Option B: Distribution Down

Prizes redistribute to lower tiers, creating more winners.

We currently use Option A to build exciting jackpots while ensuring the prize pool is always fully distributed.

Comparing to Traditional Lotteries

Often 50%+ goes to government/operator

How Winners Are Determined

Step 1: Draw Winning Numbers

VRF generates 6 random numbers (1-99)

Step 2: Match Tickets

Each ticket's numbers are compared to winning numbers

Step 3: Categorize Winners

Winners grouped by tier (6 matches, 5 matches, etc.)

Step 4: Calculate Individual Prizes

Tier pool ÷ number of winners = prize per winner

Step 5: Distribute

Prizes added to winners' accounts for claiming

Why 6 Numbers?

We use 6-number matching because it provides:

Good Odds Balance

Hard enough to create significant prizes

Easy enough that someone wins regularly

Multiple Win Possibilities

4 different ways to win (3, 4, 5, or 6 matches)

Keeps players engaged

Clear Understanding

Easy to check your numbers

Simple to understand results

Ticket Price and Pool Growth

Each ticket costs $5, which means:

1,000 tickets = $5,000 pool

10,000 tickets = $50,000 pool

20,000 tickets = $100,000 pool

As our community grows, prize pools grow proportionally!
