From purchase to payout
Seven steps, and why each is built that way.
What happens between choosing your numbers and being paid — including the parts most operators do not describe.
- 01
You choose numbers
Pick manually or take a quick pick. Quick picks are generated on our servers from the same certified entropy source the draw itself uses — never in your browser, where the result could be influenced.
- 02
The rules are checked on our side
Count, range and uniqueness are validated on the server for every line, every time. The picker in your browser is there to help you, not to decide anything.
- 03
Funds are held, then the ticket is sealed
Your stake is reserved before the ticket exists. If anything interrupts the purchase, the hold expires and the money returns to the balance it came from — you are never charged for a ticket you do not hold.
- 04
Sales close on an exact clock
Cut-off is enforced against an independently signed time source, and sales stop a safety margin ahead of it so a purchase already in flight still lands. A ticket that arrives late is rejected and refunded automatically.
- 05
The ticket set is published before the draw
A hash covering every ticket in the draw is published before close. It fixes the population that entered — nothing can be added, removed or altered afterwards without the hash disagreeing.
- 06
Results are verified before they are published
Two authorised operators from different roles must approve a result before settlement runs. Any discrepancy between sources freezes the draw rather than being resolved automatically.
- 07
Prizes are calculated and paid
Prize evaluation is a pure function of your ticket, the draw and the rules version in force when you bought — so it can be replayed and independently checked. Smaller prizes are credited automatically.
What the odds are
Published before you buy, not after
Across the 11 lotteries on the platform the top tier runs from 1 in 575,757 on Daily Five to 1 in 622,614,630 on SuperEnalotto. Every line in a draw carries the same odds, and buying more lines multiplies what you spend, not the chance any one line has. Odds and line price for every lottery.
Your receipt
What the numbers on your ticket mean
Every ticket shows a sequence number — its position in the draw’s sealed sale log — and a chain hash, which covers your ticket and every ticket sold before it. Together they place your ticket in the published ticket set at a specific position. The receipt is signed, so it can be checked at a claim desk without anyone needing to take your word, or ours.
