Questions
Frequently asked
A drawing every 3 minutes, one ticket per 500,000 PSTOCK, and the parts of that people ask about most.
Questions and answers
What do I have to do to enter?
Nothing beyond holding the token. There is no form, no allow list and no transaction to sign. Every 500,000 PSTOCK in a wallet is one ticket, and the ticket exists because the balance does.
How is the winner picked?
Before a round opens we publish the hash of a secret. After it closes we publish the secret, a Solana blockhash from after that commitment, and a hash of the eligible wallet list. Those four values hash into a seed, and the seed picks the ticket.
What is SPYx?
A token issued by a third party that tracks a share of an S&P 500 index fund. It is not the share, we do not issue it, and the issuer can freeze or seize tokens held by anyone, including a winner. We pay in it because a lottery that pays out in an index fund is the joke the coin is named after. That is the entire reason.
Why did a round pay nobody?
A round rolls over when the pool has not reached the minimum worth sending, when no wallet held enough for a ticket, or when the payout did not simulate cleanly.
Early rounds roll over constantly, because creator fees take a while to add up. The pool is not lost when this happens. The next round is that much larger.
Where does the prize money come from?
Creator fees earned on PSTOCK trading, swapped to SPYx. If nobody trades, the pool does not grow, and rounds roll over until it does.
Do I need to claim anything?
No. The payout is sent to the winning wallet. There is no claim page, no deadline and nothing to sign. If you never open this site again you would still be paid.
What happens if I sell before the drawing?
Then you are not in that round. Balances are read when the round closes, so the only balance that counts is the one at that moment. Buying back before the next close puts you in the next one.
Do the five white numbers do anything?
No. They come off the same seed as the winning ticket, so the published proof covers them, but no prize depends on them. They are there because the format is the joke.
Can you see who will win before the drawing?
The secret is fixed by its published hash before the round opens, and the blockhash mixed into the seed comes from after that, so no seed can be chosen once the entry list is known. What any operator of a system like this can still do is stop running it. That is why a halt is shown on the front page rather than left as a stuck countdown.
What are my odds?
Your tickets divided by every ticket in the round. More holders means longer odds, and a wallet holding a large share of the supply holds a large share of the tickets.
Is this run by Powerball?
No. Power Stock is not affiliated with Powerball, the Multi-State Lottery Association or any state lottery. The format is a reference and nothing more.
Can I lose money?
Yes. PSTOCK is a memecoin and its price can go to nothing. SPYx is issued by a third party who can freeze or seize it. Rounds can roll over or fail. Treat anything you put in as money you are prepared to lose entirely.
