How Does It Work

The BALLGAME.COM Lottery functions in three (3) key phases, pre draw, draw, and post draw.

Remember to check out our Glossary to familiarise yourself with some of the technical terms we use before reading ahead.

1

Pre Draw Phase

When the Lottery closes, all tickets are locked with no new tickets allowed to be entered. All tickets are saved into a CSV file and secured with a digital fingerprint (i.e. CSV hash).

2

Draw Phase

The smart contract requests a random seed from Chainlink Verifiable Random Function (VRF). Once the random seed is obtained, the smart contract uses that seed Numbers Drawn to generate the winning numbers on the blockchain (i.e. third party).

3

Post Draw Phase

When the winning numbers are drawn, they are automatically published. At this point, the ticket entries and the winning numbers can be verified by anyone using the publicly available CSV file, the CSV, the nonce and the server seed. Anyone can ensure that the Ticket entries and the winning numbers were not tampered with post draw.
