# Frequently asked questions

## Entry and eligibility

### Do I buy lottery tickets?

No. Holding enough `$MEGA` creates WIN POWER automatically. One whole WP requires a wallet balance of at least 10,000 `$MEGA` before any remaining winner deduction.

### Do I stake or deposit tokens?

No. Eligible tokens remain in your own wallet. There is no lottery staking deposit.

### Do I send a transaction when the timer ends?

No. The keeper handles maintenance transactions. Users enter by holding and do not trigger their own draw entry.

### Is 10,000 `$MEGA` the purchase amount or final balance?

Final wallet balance. A buy is subject to the trading fee and market movement, so buying exactly 10,000 tokens of quoted output may leave the wallet below 1 WP.

## Draw timing and winners

### Is there always a draw every 15 minutes?

Not necessarily. Fifteen minutes is the default interval, but a draw also needs at least 0.05 ETH in available treasury and at least three eligible wallets. Otherwise that window is skipped.

### How many winners are selected?

Three different wallets. The contract selects without replacement, so one wallet cannot take two places in the same draw.

### Can the keeper choose winners?

No. The keeper submits public transactions and proofs. The contract derives randomness from a previously committed future blockhash and verifies every winner against the saved participant root.

### Can someone buy after seeing the random seed?

They may trade, but the purchase counts only toward a later draw. The current participant snapshot is fixed before the random block exists.

## Prizes and WIN POWER

### What happens if my wallet cannot receive ETH?

The failed payout is reserved in `unclaimedPrizes`. The winning wallet can later call `claim()`.

### Does winning remove my tokens?

No. Winning reduces the separate live WIN POWER value by 30%, 20% or 10%, depending on place. The `$MEGA` balance remains in the wallet.

### Can I remove the winner deduction by transferring to a new wallet?

No. A wallet transfer moves the proportional deduction with the tokens.

### What happens if I sell everything and buy again?

Selling releases the deduction proportionally. Selling the full balance clears its remaining deduction; a later taxed buy earns fresh WP from the new net balance.

## Fees and safety

### What are the intended trading fees?

5% on buys, 5% on sells and 0% on wallet-to-wallet transfers. Final mainnet values must be confirmed on the verified contract.

### Can the owner withdraw the prize pool?

No owner treasury-withdrawal function exists in the reviewed contract.

### Has the protocol been audited?

The repository includes automated tests and an internal engineering review. An independent third-party audit has not yet been completed.

### Where is the official contract address?

**Pre-launch scam warning:** `0x77705c026e60df3217258F7EADf4232503640777` is the only planned production `$MEGA` address. It is not deployed and has no code. Deployment is pending. The Uniswap pair and swap link do not exist. Do not trade until the official launch. Track deployment on [Launch status & official links](/trust-and-verification/launch-status.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.megalottery.fun/help/faq.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
