# The Game

The draw takes place twice per week, every Tuesday and Friday.

During every draw, 7 numbers are [randomly](/games/usdc-7-35-lottery/technical-details/random-number-generation.md) drawn from 35 non-repeating integer numbers ranging from 1 to 35.  You can buy a [ticket](/games/usdc-7-35-lottery/the-game/tickets.md) to play.  Each ticket costs 2 USDC, and allows you to pick 7 of 35 numbers.  You will win a [Prize](/games/usdc-7-35-lottery/the-game/prizes.md) (plus a [Bonus](/games/usdc-7-35-lottery/the-game/prizes/bonuses.md) if available) if you match 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 numbers.

{% hint style="info" %}
The 7/35 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 seven-figure Jackpot. Having fewer numbers to choose from also helps provide a greater user experience.

The Jackpot (Match 7) 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}
