# The Game

The draw takes place every 6 hours.

During every draw, 5 numbers are randomly drawn from 35 non-repeating integer numbers ranging from 1 to 35.  You can buy a ticket to play.  Each ticket costs 0.1 MON, and allows you to pick 5 of 35 numbers.  You will win a Prize (plus a Bonus if available) if you match 2, 3, 4, or 5 numbers.

{% hint style="info" %}
The 5/35 lottery format was chosen as the first Wenwin Lottery as it adequately balances a higher chance of winning while maintaining the attractiveness of offering a 5000 MON Jackpot. Having fewer numbers to choose from also helps provide a greater user experience.
{% endhint %}

The Jackpot (Match 5) Prize will be automatically set based on the USDC proceeds from the [Initial Sale](/ww-token/initial-sale.md) going to form the Initial Prize Pot, based on the following formula:

$$
JackpotPrize = \frac{InitialPrizePot}{3.33}

The Wenwin Lottery has an RTP (Return to Players) rate of 100%, which is **higher than any other lottery in the world**.

If you win, you can claim the winning prize by delivering the winning ticket (NFT).

Winning tickets have up to 1 month to claim their prize. If a prize is not claimed before this period, the unclaimed prize money will go back to the Prize Pot.<br>
