Box Lottery Guide

The Box Lottery is a weekly lottery where users purchase tickets using BFM tokens. One winner is selected each week and receives a Crypto Box as the prize.

How It Works

A new lottery round starts every Monday at 9:05 AM UTC.
The round runs for 7 days, ending the following Monday at 8:55 AM UTC.
The winner is announced at 9:00 AM UTC on the closing Monday.
The result announcement runs automatically via a scheduled cron job every Monday at 2:00 PM PKT (9:00 AM UTC).

Ticket Purchase

Price

Each ticket costs 1 BFM.
You can purchase multiple tickets in a single transaction.

How to Buy

Select the ticket numbers you want (each ticket has a unique number).
If any of your selected tickets are already taken by another user, only the available ones will be purchased.
If all selected tickets are already taken, the purchase will fail with: "All selected tickets are taken".

Payment

The total cost is deducted from your BFM wallet.
If you don't have enough BFM balance, the purchase will fail with: "Insufficient balance".

Ticket Visibility

After purchasing, your tickets appear in real-time to all users via a live socket update.
You can view how many tickets you've purchased for the current round.

Ticket Display

The ticket page shows:

Field	Description
Total	Total ticket slots (rounded up to nearest 250)
Sold	Number of tickets purchased so far
Your Tickets	Number of tickets you've purchased in this round
Pool Amount	Same as sold (total tickets in the pool)
Start Time	When the current lottery round started
End Time	When the current lottery round ends
Previous Winner	The winner from the last completed round

Winning Odds

Each ticket gives you one entry into the draw.
Your chance of winning = Your Tickets / Total Tickets Sold.
The more tickets you buy, the higher your chances.
Example: If 500 tickets are sold and you own 10, your chance is 10/500 = 2%.

Winner Selection

The winner is selected using Random.org, a true random number generator.
All ticket holders (by username) are submitted to Random.org, and one winner is randomly picked.
A cryptographic proof is saved for every draw, which can be independently verified for fairness.

Prize

The winner receives a Crypto Box with the following details:

Detail	Value
Token	BFM
Tokens	Equal to the total number of tickets sold in that round
Token Price	Current BFM/USDT price at the time of the draw
Percentage	Monthly return percentage (see table below)
Locked Until	April 30, 2026
Return	(percentage * tokens / 100) + tokens

Monthly Return Percentages

The Crypto Box return percentage depends on which month the lottery ends:

Month	Return Percentage
June	110%
July	110%
August	110%
September	104%
October	97%
November	89%
December	80%
January	70%
February	55%
March	40%
April	20%
May	0%

Example: If 1,000 tickets were sold and the draw happens in March:

Winner gets a Crypto Box with 1,000 BFM
Return percentage = 40%
Total return at maturity = (40% * 1000 / 100) + 1000 = 1,400 BFM
The box is locked until April 30, 2026

Proof of Fairness

Every lottery draw is provably fair. After results are announced, anyone can verify the draw:

Provide the lottery ID and type "BOX".
The system fetches the saved Random.org proof.
The proof is verified against Random.org's API to confirm the result was not tampered with.
