Tickets & Gameplay
Q:Does the Power count toward 10/10?
No. The 10/10 score is calculated only from the 10 numbers (1-69) marked on the Master. The Power Number is exclusively for special per-round prizes (FullHand and Power Hit).
Q:Can I buy a ticket when the Season is LOCKED?
No. The contract rejects purchases outside the OPEN phase. It's common to have one OPEN Season (purchasable) and one LOCKED Season (drawings in progress) at the same time.
Q:Can I choose the same number twice on my ticket?
No. Your 10 white numbers must be unique (1-69). The Power number (1-26) is separate and can coincide with one of your white numbers.
Q:How many tickets can I buy per season?
There is no limit. You can buy as many tickets as you want while the season is OPEN. Each ticket is an independent entry with its own 10 numbers + 1 Power.
Scoring & Master
Q:If a number repeats in another round, do I get extra points?
No. The Master is a union of unique numbers. A number repeated in different rounds counts only once on the Master list.
Q:What is the lowest possible score?
Theoretically 0/10, but in practice you'll almost always match at least a few numbers as the Master list grows. The Low Score prize goes to whoever has the lowest score in a finished season.
Q:What happens if multiple players have the same score?
Prize tiers are shared among all players at that tier. For example, if 3 players hit 10/10, they split the Jackpot (55% of the Prize Pot) equally.
Rounds & Disputes
Q:Where do the round numbers come from?
Every round uses the 5 white balls from an official US Powerball draw. Draws happen Mon/Wed/Sat at 10:59 PM ET. You can verify any round at powerball.com/draw-result.
Q:Why is my round showing as PENDING?
Rounds stay PENDING for 24 hours after being recorded. This is the dispute window. Once it passes without disputes, the round becomes ACTIVE and counts toward your score.
Q:How do disputes work?
After each round is recorded, there's a 24-hour window where anyone can challenge the result by staking 1000 USDT. If the Oracle was wrong, the challenger gets their stake back plus a 10000 USDT + 500 LOTTO Token reward.
Q:Can a round be cancelled?
Yes. If someone disputes a round and the Guardian confirms the Oracle made an error, the round is CANCELLED and doesn't count for anyone's score or rewards.
Q:What happens to my score if a round gets cancelled?
CANCELLED rounds are completely ignored. Any numbers from that round are removed from the Master, and scores are recalculated based on remaining ACTIVE rounds only.
LOTTO Token
Q:What is LOTTO token?
LOTTO is a separate reward token you earn by matching numbers in individual rounds. It's different from USDT prizes which are based on your final Bingo score.
Q:What's the difference between USDT and LOTTO rewards?
USDT prizes are for your final Bingo score (10/10, 9/10, 8/10, Low Score, Special 5+1). LOTTO tokens are earned per round when you match 5 whites (FullHand) or the Power number.
Q:How many LOTTO rounds can I claim at once?
Up to 50 rounds per transaction. If you have rewards from more rounds, you'll need multiple claim transactions. The UI batches them automatically.
Q:Is there a deadline to claim LOTTO?
No. LOTTO token claims have no deadline, unlike USDT prizes which must be claimed within 90 days of season end.
Prizes & Claiming
Q:How is each ticket's value distributed?
Each purchase is split into: 70% Prize Pot (main prizes), 5% Special Pot (5+1), 5% Vault (special events), and 20% Treasury.
Q:What happens to unclaimed prizes?
There is a 90-day deadline to withdraw USDT prizes after the Season is FINISHED. Unclaimed funds follow the contract policy (e.g., charity). LOTTO token claims have no deadline.
Q:When can I claim my prizes?
After the season status changes to FINISHED. This happens when someone hits 10/10 and all rounds are verified. You can then claim both USDT and LOTTO rewards from the My Bets page.
Q:Do I need to claim USDT and LOTTO separately?
Yes. USDT prizes (Bingo score) and LOTTO rewards (per-round matches) are claimed in separate transactions. The UI guides you through both.
Airdrop & Special Events
Q:What is the Airdrop?
During Season 1, players receive bonus LOTTO tokens on every ticket purchase. The first 100 unique players get Tier 1 (higher bonus), everyone after gets Tier 2.
Q:Will there be airdrops in future seasons?
The airdrop is specifically designed for Season 1 to reward early adopters. Future promotions may be announced separately.
Q:What happens to the Vault funds?
The Vault (5% of each ticket) accumulates throughout the year and is injected into Year End Special seasons, creating larger prize pools.
Q:What are Year End Special seasons?
Once a year, Wyndfall hosts a special season where the accumulated Vault is injected into the prize pool. Same rules as regular seasons, just with a larger starting pot.
