How Jackpot works

$JACKPOT carries a 3% tax on every transfer. It splits evenly: half into the prize-pool wallet, half into the treasury. There’s no separate ticket purchase — normal trading activity fills the jackpot on its own.

Your balance is your ticket count — one token, one ticket. Hold 1% of the eligible supply and you have roughly a 1% chance each draw. A short list of system wallets is excluded so the pool can only ever be won by real holders:

• Prize-pool wallet
  Holds the jackpot itself.
• Treasury wallet
  Operations and liquidity.
• Liquidity pairs
  DEX pool contracts.
• Burn / dead address
  Permanently removed supply.
• Token contract
  The $JACKPOT contract address.
• Bridge & known contracts
  Non-custodial system addresses.

The full, versioned exclusion list is published in the transparency docs.

Every 20minutes, the engine takes a balance snapshot, removes excluded wallets, and draws one winner weighted by balance. The randomness comes from a public, pre-committed seed — a drand beacon round from the League of Entropy — so the result can’t be nudged and anyone can recompute it.

Each draw, 80% of the pool is paid to the winner and 20% rolls into the next. The pool never empties, so momentum compounds through quiet spells and a fresh jackpot is always building. The exact split is a configurable policy and is shown live on the home page.
