# Lottery System

While exchange revenue sharing and LP fee distribution provide substantial long-term value, the lottery system creates ongoing daily engagement, keeping stakers active and connected to the protocol.

## Structure

* Lottery events run every 6 hours when both minimum thresholds are met:
  * 2 participants;
  * $50 pot;
* Every staker has access to the Lottery, all stakers participate equally;
* Tickets can be bought on Aevo, paid in USDC, 1 USDC = 1 ticket;
* Maximum 1,000 tickets per user per lottery event;
* One winner selected randomly per event.

## Prize Distribution

* 70% of ticket revenue (in USDC) goes to the winner;
* 20% of ticket revenue is distributed as staked $AEVO tokens to all participants, weighted by tickets purchased and added to their existing stake;
* 10% accrues to the DAO Treasury;

The staked $AEVO distributed to participants are staked with the same lock period as the main staking mechanism. All participants receive staked tokens proportional to their ticket purchases, ensuring everyone benefits while one lucky winner takes the main prize.

While the lottery may appear frivolous, it maintains daily user engagement, preventing stake-and-forget behavior while strengthening long-term alignment through the staked token distribution to all participants.
