Official Rules

The rules that apply to every lotto on PlayLotto unless a lotto's page states stricter ones.
Last updated September 26, 2026

01No purchase necessary

NO PURCHASE, PAYMENT OR TOKEN HOLDING IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A purchase does not improve your chances. Void where prohibited or restricted by law.

03Eligibility

Open to individuals aged 18 or older (or the age of majority where they live) with a genuine X account, in jurisdictions where free prize draws are lawful. The X account must have been created at least the number of days shown on the lotto page before that lotto opened (currently 30), so accounts made to farm entries can't take part. Employees of PlayLotto and of the lotto's creator, and their immediate families, are not eligible for that creator's lottos.

04How to enter

During the entry period shown on the lotto page, publish a public post on X containing the lotto's ticker as a cashtag (for example $DOGELOTTO). The entry period ends at the draw time shown by the countdown.

05Entry limit

One entry per X account per lotto. Additional posts are ignored. Entries made through multiple accounts, automated means or third parties are void, and every account involved may be disqualified.

06Winner selection and odds

After the entry period, the number of winners stated on the lotto page (between 1 and 10) is selected at random from all eligible entries, with each account able to win once. The draw uses a random seed committed (as a SHA-256 fingerprint) when the lotto launches and revealed after the draw, so the result can be independently verified as described on each lotto page and in the docs. Odds depend on the number of eligible entries received.

07Prizes

The prize pool is the jackpot shown on the lotto page at draw time, divided equally among the winners in whole dollars, with any dollars left over from an uneven split going to the first winner drawn. Prizes are paid in US dollars to the winner's X Money account or, if the winner has no X Money or chooses otherwise, in USDC to a Solana wallet the winner provides. Prizes are not transferable and no substitution is allowed except by the sponsor.

08Notification and claim

Winners are announced on the lotto page and may be contacted on X. Winners are contacted by public reply from @PlayLotto. A winner who needs to provide a wallet must do so within 30 days, by replying to @PlayLotto or on their claim page after signing in with the winning X account, and must complete any verification required by law, or the prize may be forfeited. PlayLotto never asks for private keys or seed phrases.

09Taxes

Winners are responsible for any taxes on prizes. The sponsor may collect information needed for tax reporting.

10General conditions

The sponsor and PlayLotto may cancel, modify or suspend a lotto if fraud, technical failure or any other factor impairs its integrity. Decisions of the sponsor and PlayLotto on all matters relating to a lotto are final.
