CryptoDrawz

How a crypto lottery works, step by step

Playing CryptoDrawz takes three steps: choose your tickets, pay in crypto, and wait for the weekly draw. Here is what happens at each step.

Step 1: choose your tickets

Go to the Buy tickets page, choose how many tickets you want and enter your email. There is no account or password. Each ticket costs $5. You can buy more than one, but never more than you are comfortable losing.

Step 2: pay in crypto

You are sent to a secure Plisio payment page where you choose your coin (Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, USDC and more) and see the exact amount. As soon as the payment is confirmed, each ticket gets its lottery number and we email them to you.

Step 3: the Sunday draw

Ticket sales close every Sunday at 20:00 UTC. We then take one public random value from the drand beacon and use it to pick 14 different winning tickets. 90% of ticket sales form the prize pool and 10% is the platform fee.

  • Grand prize: 1 winning ticket gets 50% of the pool
  • Runner-up: 3 winning tickets get 10% each
  • Lucky draw: 10 winning tickets get 2% each
  • Fewer than 50 tickets sold: the round is cancelled and everyone is refunded

Step 4: check results

Results are published on the Draws page, with the full ticket list so you can recompute them yourself. You can look up any of your tickets on the Track page. Winners are emailed and paid in crypto once they confirm a wallet address.
