# Quick start

This page explains only what a holder needs to do. The lottery mechanics are covered separately.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**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.
{% endhint %}

## Before you start

You will need:

* a self-custody EVM wallet;
* Robinhood Chain selected in that wallet;
* ETH for the purchase and network gas;
* the official `$MEGA` contract address after launch: `0x77705c026e60df3217258F7EADf4232503640777`.

## Enter in four steps

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Verify the official address

Open [Launch status & official links](/trust-and-verification/launch-status.md). Compare the token and pool addresses with the verified contract on the explorer. Do not use an address from replies, DMs or unofficial groups.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Buy `$MEGA` on Uniswap

The intended trading fee is 5% on buys. Your wallet receives the amount remaining after the fee and price movement.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Hold at least 10,000 `$MEGA`

Your **wallet balance after the trade** must be at least 10,000 `$MEGA`. That creates 1 whole WIN POWER and makes the wallet eligible.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Wait

That is all. There is no lottery transaction to send. The keeper advances the draw automatically, and the contract normally pays winners directly in ETH.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## How to confirm that you are eligible

After launch, the website will show your wallet's token balance and WIN POWER. The on-chain contract also exposes `winPowerOf(wallet)` for independent verification.

| Wallet state    |   Eligible? |
| --------------- | ----------: |
| 9,999 `$MEGA`   |   No — 0 WP |
| 10,000 `$MEGA`  |  Yes — 1 WP |
| 99,999 `$MEGA`  |  Yes — 9 WP |
| 100,000 `$MEGA` | Yes — 10 WP |

{% hint style="info" %}
WIN POWER uses whole points. Any balance below the next 10,000-token boundary does not create another point.
{% endhint %}

## What happens next

Your wallet is considered in every future eligible draw until its live WIN POWER falls to zero. Read [WIN POWER](/start-here/win-power.md) to understand odds and [How a draw works](/the-lottery/how-it-works.md) to follow the full cycle.

## 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/start-here/quick-start.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.
