Tickets

Holding $LOOT puts tickets in the box. More tickets, better odds. There's nothing to buy or register.

The rule

Every 10,000 $LOOT of your average balance during a drop is one ticket. Fractions round down.

Your average is taken across several snapshots: readings of every $LOOT balance on Solana, taken at random times nobody knows in advance.

Rule

While a pool fills, holder snapshots are taken at random, unannounced times, one every 2–8 hours, plus a final one the moment the pool fills. The ticket list is locked right then, and the draw starts 2 minutes later.

Your chance of winning a drop is your tickets divided by all tickets in the box.

Why an average

If tickets were based on one moment, someone could buy a huge bag right before the draw and sell right after. Averaging across unannounced snapshots means a last-minute buy only counts in the snapshots that come after it.

Example

Six snapshots are taken during a drop.

Wallet	Holds	Average	Tickets
A	50,000 $LOOT the whole time	50,000	5
B	0, then buys 100,000 before the last snapshot	16,666	1
C	9,000 the whole time	9,000	0, under one ticket
D	250,000, sells half after snapshot 3	187,500	18

Good to know

One wallet is never worse than several. Odds are proportional, so splitting doesn't help, and rounding down in each wallet can only lose you fractions.
Every drop counts separately. Each drop has its own snapshots. If you keep holding, you're in every drop.
Selling lowers your balance in every snapshot after the sale. Tickets from earlier snapshots still count toward your average.
Some wallets can never win. The pump.fun bonding curve, the liquidity pool, the team and dev wallets, and the treasury are excluded. Their addresses are listed on Addresses.
