# Prizes

{% hint style="info" %}
he Wenwin 5/35 Lottery is a one-of-a-kind lottery that was designed to maximise profits for WW holders, while minimising the risk of insolvency and aiming to grow the Prize Pot at a reasonable rate.
{% endhint %}

## Overview

To win a prize, a ticket must match a minimum of 2 numbers out of the 5 numbers drawn.  Depending on the number of numbers matched, the following prizes (plus bonuses when available) are given out:

<table><thead><tr><th width="300">Division</th><th width="488.33333333333326">Prize (per ticket)</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Match 5 (Jackpot)</td><td>5000 MON</td></tr><tr><td>Match 4</td><td>20 MON</td></tr><tr><td>Match 3</td><td>1 MON</td></tr><tr><td>Match 2</td><td>0.1 MON</td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="info" %}
The Wenwin Lottery has an RTP (Return to Players) rate of 100%, which is **higher than any other lottery in the world**.
{% endhint %}

## Jackpot Prize

A Jackpot Prize is won when **all 5 numbers on the ticket match all 5 winning numbers drawn** from the lottery. If there are multiple winners of the Jackpot in a single draw, the prizes will be evenly shared between the number of winning tickets. No other prizes are given for the round where a Jackpot is won.

The Jackpot (Match 5) Prize will be dynamically decided based on the [initial sales proceeds going into the Prize Pot](/ww-token/initial-sale.md):

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

For example, if the Initial Prize Pot is 6,000,000 MON, then the Jackpot Prize will be 1,800,000 MON.

{% hint style="info" %}
The multiplier of `3.33` was decided after running various simulations with a target **zero** bankruptcies over the next 500 draws. With a `3.33` multiplier, the Wenwin Lottery always has a good safety margin to make sure there is no insolvency event and the Jackpot keeps growing in a sustainable way.
{% endhint %}

## Non-Jackpot Prize

A Non-Jackpot Prize is won when numbers on the ticket match 2 or 3 or 4 winning numbers drawn from the lottery, except for when a Jackpot is won.&#x20;

Non-Jackpot Prizes are fixed as follows:

<table><thead><tr><th width="300">Division</th><th width="488.33333333333326">Prize (per ticket)</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Match 4</td><td>20 MON</td></tr><tr><td>Match 3</td><td>1 MON</td></tr><tr><td>Match 2</td><td>0.1 MON</td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="info" %}
The above Non-Jackpot Prizes were set to beat prizes offered by similar games with a similar ticket price, taking into account the probability of matching numbers in each division. Furthermore, unlike other 5/35 lotteries, Wenwin also features a Match 2 tier, which allows approximately 10% of players to get their ticket price back, or to play again.
{% endhint %}

## Claiming Prizes

Winning tickets have a **one month deadline from the draw time** to claim their prize by redeeming the winning NFT ticket.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
For the avoidance of doubt, a ticket can only claim the prize based on the highest number of matches. For example, a 3 out of 5 winning ticket can only claim a 3 out of 5 prize.
