# Alien Lottery The Alien lottery is an amazing and fun way to try your luck and win $ALIEN tokens on our platform. Everyone can participate in the lottery rounds by purchasing lottery tickets using their $ALIEN tokens. {% hint style="info" %} **Rules & Regulations** * Lottery ticket price is fixed which is $3 USD in $ALIEN * There is no max limit to purchase lottery tickets but the tickets can only be bought in batches of up to 100 at a time * Each ticket contains six digits between 0–9 which are generated randomly * Prizes are won when numbers on ticket(s) match (in order from left to right) with the “Winning Numbers” * The more numbers that match, the bigger the prize pot shared {% endhint %} **Ticket Price** Though the lottery ticket price is set to \~$5 USD in $ALIEN at the start of each new lottery round, in the event of sudden price fluctuations ticket prices may vary slightly from $5 USD. Users can buy multiple Lottery tickets at once to take advantage of bulk discounts! Discounts start as early as 2 tickets, scaling all the way up to 4.95% off at 100 tickets. **Winning Formula** One or more numbers on a ticket must match the “Winning Numbers” in order, from left to right, to win a prize. The more numbers are matched, the larger the prize pool. If the first three numbers, the fifth number and the sixth number on your ticket match the winning numbers in left to right order but the fourth number is different, you’ll only get a prize for the first three matching numbers. Ticket matching all 6 numbers in the exact same order as the 6 winning numbers, wins the lottery jackpot (40% of the entire lottery pool). Each prize pot is split amongst all tickets matching one or more winning numbers from left to right. For example, if two tickets matched all 6 winning numbers, each ticket holder would win 20% of the total lottery pool (half of the 40% allocated to the prize pot). For example, if the 6 winning numbers are “9–2–1–1–4–8” * “9–2–1–1–4–8” = match all numbers, 40% of the pot won, or split if more than 1 winner. * “9–2–1–1–4–2” = match 5 numbers, 20% of the pot won, or split if more than 1 winner. * “9–2–1–1–0–6” = match 4 numbers, 10% of the pot won, or split if more than 1 winner. * “9–2–1–8–1–4” = match 3, 5% of the pot won, or split if more than 1 winner. * “9–2–9–1–4–8” = match 2, 3% of the pot won, or split if more than 1 winner. * “9–7–2–3–1–0” = match 1, 2% of the pot won, or split if more than 1 winner. * "3–3–4–4–0–6” = match 0, no prize **Alien Lottery Prize Pot** The prizes for the lottery pot come from the $ALIEN that players used to pay for their lottery tickets. 100% of ticket sales go directly into the total prize pot! Whenever a lottery jackpot (or any other prize) isn’t won, the $ALIEN from the prize pot will be carried over to the next round’s total prize pot; the longer it has been since someone has won the prize, the larger the lottery prize pot will be. With each round, 15% of the total prize pot is reserved to be sent to the burn address and 5% to the dev wallet. This will only occur if a prize has been won for the round. If no one wins, the $ALIEN will be carried over to the following round. **Breakdown Of Prize Pot** * 40% = All 6 numbers matched (splits if more than 1 winner) * 20% = First 5 numbers matched (splits if more than 1 winner) * 10% = First 4 numbers matched (splits if more than 1 winner) * 5% = First 3 numbers matched (splits if more than 1 winner) * 3% = First 2 numbers matched (splits if more than 1 winner) * 2% = First 1 numbers matched (splits if more than 1 winner) * 15% = Burn * 5% = Dev Wallet --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
