# Lottery

The lottery is designed as the exclusive place to convert lottery tickets into [energy](https://docs.cytonic.com/airdrop/energy-and-flames). Tickets can be earned by opening chests. The Lottery distributes the jackpot proportionally based on the percentage of lottery tickets entered (entries). \
Each entry included in the jackpot distribution participates based on the highest tier it reaches. For example, if an entry falls within the top 1% of winners, it only claims a portion of the 1% jackpot distribution. The distribution follows this structure:

<table><thead><tr><th>Place</th><th>Jackpot percent distributed</th><th data-hidden></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>#1</td><td>20%</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>#2</td><td>10%</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>#3</td><td>5%</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>First 1%</td><td>25%</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>First 5%</td><td>20%</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>First 10%</td><td>15%</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>First 15%</td><td>4%</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>First 20%</td><td>1%</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

Users can participate in a single lottery with multiple entries. In this case, the user's overall standing is determined by the highest-ranking entry they submitted.\
The [energy](https://docs.cytonic.com/airdrop/energy-and-flames) jackpot starts with a sufficient base value and can increase over time. Each lottery lasts for one week.
