The Frankenstein Lottery System
Lottery Specifics:
- Lottery Ticket Fee for 1 ticket: 0.05 BSC FRANK & 0.10 FTM FRANK
- Single User Lottery Entry Limit: No overall limit, but only 50 can be bought at one time through the UI
- Paying for one ticket will give users a random 4 digit combination with each digit being between 1–9, for e.g. “1–9–3–2”
- Lottery will also be funded by adding 0.1% from the amount of tokens minted per block every 24 hours.
How to win:
To win the lottery jackpot (50% of the entire lottery pool), users need to match all 4 numbers on their ticket in the exact same order as the 4 winning numbers.
If you don’t match all 4, no need to worry. As long as you match 2 or more numbers in the correct order, you are guaranteed to win a prize.
Winning Ratio:
- Match all 4 numbers in the exact order = win 50% of the pot (or split the pot if more than 1 winner).
- Match 3 numbers in the exact order = win or split 20% of the pot.
- Match 2 numbers in the exact order = win or split 10% of the pot.
- Burn the remaining 20% of the pot.
Please note — in the event that no participants were able to match 3 numbers on any draw, the 20% allocated to winners will then be burned accordingly.
For example, if the final 4 winning numbers are “1–9–3–2”:
- “2–3–9–1” = match 0
- “1–9–3–2” = match all 4
- “1–9–2–2” = match 3
- “2–3–3–2” = match 2
- “1–2–1–2” = match 2

How are ticket numbers drawn?
The lottery aims to be completely random. Even though the ticket numbers given out are determined by a front-end logic, there is an extremely low chance that anyone is able to determine the 4 winning numbers ahead of time.
- The 1st lottery number will be determined based on the %10 remainder of a hash encoded by the blockhash and the number of participating users at the entry deadline.
- The 2nd lottery number will be determined based on the %10 remainder of a hash encoded by the blockhash and the total pooled FRANK balance at the entry deadline.
- The 3rd lottery number will be determined based on the %10 remainder of a hash encoded by the blockhash and the timestamp of the last lottery participant at the entry deadline.
- The 4th lottery number will be determined based on the %10 remainder of a hash encoded by the blockhash and the block difficulty at the entry deadline.
