Lottery 2.0 Explained:

How does Lottery 2.0 work?

It's simple.

Lottery 2.0 is an innovative new online lottery in which each game has 1 Jackpot winner and 2 Jackpot-lite winners. The Jackpot winner is the owner of the first number drawn and wins 100% of the game amount. The Jackpot-lite winners are the second and third numbers drawn and they each win 20% of the game amount.

For example: In a €10,000 game, there would be 10,000 numbers available: 1 - 10,000. Each number may only be selected by 1 user and once selected is "taken" for that game. Once all 10,000 numbers have been picked, the drawing goes off, the Jackpot winner wins €10,000, the Jackpot-lite winners win €2,000 each, and a new game starts.

1 user can win more than 1 of the Jackpots if they have more than 1 number entered.

The faster the numbers get picked, the faster the drawings go off.

Thats it. Thats all there is to it.

How do I play from my mobile?

To play from your mobile simply visit m.lottery20.com. On the mobile version of the site you can choose numbers and check your games to see if you won.

If you intend to play via mobile, you must first add credits to your account here on the site. You can then use them to play from anywhere!

How and when are drawings done?

Drawings go off when all the numbers for a game have been selected. That could be an hour after it starts, a day, or 10 minutes. It all depends. Again, the faster numbers get picked, the faster games go off. The more users we get, the faster they go off and the more and bigger games we will be able to offer.

Winning numbers are third-party generated using the premier internet random number generation site: random.org.

Once the winning number has been generated, you will then receive an email notifying you the drawing is over and you can log in to Lottery 2.0 to see if you won.

How good are the odds?

Through the collective buying power of community Lottery 2.0 is able to offer you the best odds mathematically possible.

In a €10,000 game, picking 1 number would give a player a 1 in 10,000 chance to win the Jackpot and a 1 in 3333 chance to win one of the three Jackpots: either Jackpot or 1 of the 2 Jackpot-lites. Picking 5 numbers would give a player a 1 in 2000 chance to win the Jackpot or a 1 in 667 chance to win 1, 2 or all of the three Jackpots.

The odds for Lottery 2.0 are dramatically better than any lottery, scratch off or other type of drawing style game currently available... there's nothing really even close.

How much does each number cost?

Credits are used to select numbers. Each credit cost €2.00.

The equivalent of 2% of the total Jackpot payouts (Jackpot + 2 Jackpot-lites) is donated to charity, with your percentage going to the charity of your choice. This amount does not come out of the actual Jackpot and Jackpot-lite payouts, winners receive their full winnings. The amount donated to charity is in addition to the payouts.

The choices you have for charities are the WWF (World Wildlife Foundation), Red Cross, Association for International Cancer Research, AVERT International AIDS Charity, Greenpeace, Global Cool, and UNICEF.

What size games do you offer?

Initially we will be offering €500 and €1,000 games only. As we add users and those drawings begin to go off fast enough, we will begin to add larger and larger games; with €5,000 and €10,000 games next in line.

We will add as many and as large of games as our user base can support and may begin to add much larger games early on depending upon popularity, requests, and what we get in the way of user feedback.

We have more features and game types coming soon as well.

We're just warming up, so stay tuned!
