Q&A

Q: Can I withdraw from the Lotto?

  • A: Yes, you can forfeit any Lotto ticket you have received by clicking “Withdraw” in the “My Tickets” menu. If you forfeit a Lotto ticket, the ticket will be removed from the current draw and future draws and the SHFL tokens you staked to obtain it will enter a "pending unstake" state. After the draw concludes, your SHFL tokens will be returned to your Shuffle Wallet. If you change your mind, you can cancel the unstake before the draw concludes, and your ticket will be re-entered in the draw and future draws. 

Q: What if no one wins the jackpot?

  • A: The jackpot rolls over to the next week, increasing the prize pool. This makes future draws even more exciting for the chance to win big!

Q: How are prizes paid out?

  • A: Prizes are paid out in USDC and can be claimed from the "Claim Rewards" section on Shuffle. You can see your winnings and choose to withdraw them or keep them in your Shuffle account.

Q: Can I play with the same numbers each week?

  • A: Yes, you can choose to keep the same numbers. Your tickets remain valid as long as you don't unstake your SHFL tokens.

Q: What happens after each Lotto draw?

  • A: The system automatically calculates winners, distributes prizes, and updates the prize pool for the next week. Your SHFL tokens remain staked for future draws unless you choose to unstake them.

Q: What happens if more than one user hits the jackpot or second prize?

  • A: If multiple users match all the numbers required for the jackpot or second prize, the winnings are shared equally among them. 

Q: Do I need to stake my SHFL to get Lotto tickets, or is there a way I can purchase tickets?

  • A: Currently, staking your SHFL tokens is the only way to enter the Lotto. However, in the future, we plan to introduce the option to purchase tickets with other cryptocurrencies. These purchased tickets will be valid for upcoming Lotto draws only and won’t be perpetually entered like those obtained through staking SHFL.
