Frequently Asked Questions
What is Block Lottos?
Block Lottos is a blockchain-powered lottery platform with multiple lottery games. You pick 6 numbers, buy a ticket for your chosen game, and if your numbers match the weekly draw, you win the jackpot. It's transparent, fair, and fully on-chain.
How do I play?
1. Connect your Web3 wallet.
2. Go to the Games page and choose a lottery game.
3. Pick 6 numbers between 1 and 49 (or use Quick Pick).
4. Click "Buy Ticket" and confirm your entry.
5. Wait for that game's weekly draw.
How much does a ticket cost?
Ticket prices depend on the lottery game you choose. You can buy as many tickets as you want for each draw.
How are the winning numbers generated?
Winning numbers are generated using Chainlink VRF, a verifiable random function. In simple terms, Chainlink provides randomness that can be independently checked on-chain, so players can see the draw was not picked or changed by a person. Technically, it gives each draw a cryptographic proof that the random result was produced fairly. Every ticket, winning number, and prize payout is recorded on-chain and auditable by anyone.
What happens if nobody matches all 6 numbers?
The entire jackpot rolls over to the next week. It keeps growing indefinitely until someone matches all 6 numbers. There's no expiry, the jackpot will keep building week after week until it's won. The longer it rolls, the bigger the prize gets.
How do I get my prize?
You don't need to do anything! If your numbers match the winning draw, your prize is automatically sent to your wallet by the smart contract. No claiming process, no waiting, the prize is paid to your wallet as soon as the draw is completed.
What wallet do I need?
You need a Web3 wallet that supports the game you want to play. Wallet options include MetaMask and WalletConnect-compatible apps. Make sure your wallet has enough funds for tickets and gas fees.
What blockchain networks does this run on?
Block Lottos supports multiple lottery games across different blockchain networks. Each game page shows which network it uses, and your wallet will guide you through the correct connection flow.
Where does the ticket money go?
80% of every ticket goes directly into the jackpot pool.
20% goes to operations (hosting, development, maintenance).
This split is hardcoded into the smart contract and cannot be changed.
Is Block Lottos fair?
Yes. The lottery logic runs through transparent smart contracts. Every draw, every ticket, and every prize is recorded on-chain and can be independently verified by anyone.
Can bots or agents play?
Yes. Block Lottos is designed to be open and permissionless where supported. Humans, bots, and agents can interact with the lottery systems on-chain, and public APIs are available for read access on the API page.
