Lottery Rules

1. Organiser

The TaskerData Weekly Draw (the "Lottery") is a free prize draw run by TaskerData, operated from Lithuania. These rules are part of our Terms and Conditions. By taking part you accept them. No purchase or payment is needed to enter, and tickets can't be bought.

2. Who can take part

• You must be 18 or older and have a TaskerData worker account in good standing (not suspended), with one account per person.
• The Lottery is not available where it is against the law. Some countries don't allow prize draws or games of chance, or need a licence for them. It is your responsibility to check that you may take part where you live. Don't take part if you're not sure.

3. How you earn tickets

• Tickets are free. You earn them only by completing offers on the offer walls in your worker dashboard. Tasks, bonuses and referrals don't give tickets.
• When an offer is credited to your balance, 10% of the amount you earned is added to your ticket credit. This is extra: your offer earnings are not reduced.
• Every $0.20 of ticket credit becomes 1 ticket in the next draw, automatically.
• Credit left over (less than $0.20) is kept and counts toward your next ticket, in this draw or in later draws.
• Ticket credit has no cash value. It can't be withdrawn, spent or moved to another account, and neither can tickets.
• Each ticket is one equal chance. More tickets mean better odds, never a certain win.

4. Ticket limit per draw

• There is a limit on how many tickets one person can hold in a single draw. TaskerData sets the limit and may change it. The current limit is shown in the Lottery tab of your dashboard.
• While you are at the limit, offers you complete don't add ticket credit. That credit is not saved for later. Once a new draw starts, offers earn ticket credit again.

5. Offer reversals

• If an offer is reversed or charged back by the offer wall, the ticket credit it gave is taken back.
• If your credit goes below zero, tickets are removed from your entries in the current draw (one ticket for every $0.20) until your credit is back to zero or you have no tickets left in that draw.
• Any amount still below zero stays on your credit, and credit from your next offers fills it first.
• Tickets in draws that have already taken place are not affected.

6. Draws and the prize

• There is one draw a week, normally on Sunday at 17:00 Lithuanian time (EET/EEST), streamed live on YouTube. The time of the next draw is always shown on the Lottery page. We may move a draw, and we'll show the new time there. Tickets already earned stay in that draw at its new time.
• The prize pool is set by TaskerData and doesn't depend on how many tickets there are. It can change from week to week, and the current pool is shown on the Lottery page.
• The pool can be $0 in some weeks. If so, there is no prize that week, the draw is skipped and all its tickets move to the next draw.
• If nobody has a ticket, there is no draw and any extra amount TaskerData added to the pool carries over to the next one.

7. Winners and prize shares

• Each draw has between 1 and 10 winners. TaskerData sets the number and shows it on the Lottery page before the draw.
• The pool is split equally between the winners, rounded down to the cent. Any cents left over go to the 1st place winner.
• One prize per person per draw, however many tickets you have.
• If fewer people have tickets than there are winners, everyone with a ticket wins a share, and the pool is split between them.

8. How the winners are picked

The draw is provably fair. Before the draw, we publish the SHA-256 fingerprint of a secret seed. Tickets are numbered from 0 in the order they were added to the draw. At the draw, the first winning number is calculated as:

sha256(seed + ":" + total tickets) mod total tickets

Each further number uses a counter i = 1, 2, 3 and so on:

sha256(seed + ":" + total tickets + ":" + i) mod total tickets

If a number lands on a ticket whose owner has already won, it is skipped and the next one is used, until there are as many different winners as there are prizes. Winners are placed in the order they were found.

After the draw we reveal the seed, so anyone can check that it matches the fingerprint published in advance and redo the calculation. Every draw's seed, fingerprint and winning numbers can be checked in the Lottery tab of the worker dashboard.

9. Winning

• Prizes are added to the winners' TaskerData worker balance straight after the draw, and can be cashed out like other earnings under the Terms.
• We tell winners by email (if email notifications are on), and the results appear on the Lottery page and in the dashboard's list of past draws.
• Your username and country are shown on the live ticket feed when you earn tickets, and winners' usernames are shown in the list of past draws, even if your profile is private.
• Any taxes on a prize are the winner's responsibility.

10. Disqualification

• An account that is suspended (for example for multiple accounts or fraud) can't earn tickets. Its tickets for draws that haven't happened yet are cancelled, and it can't win: eligibility is checked again at the moment of the draw.
• Tickets earned through fake, fraudulent or reversed offers don't count and may be removed.
• If we find out after a draw that a winner wasn't eligible or broke these rules or the Terms, we may take the prize back and, where possible, run the draw again.

11. Changes and cancellation

• We may change these rules, the prize pool, the number of winners or the ticket limit, or stop the Lottery. Changes to the prize or winners are shown on the Lottery page before the draw they apply to.
• If we have to cancel a draw, its tickets move to the next draw.
• If something outside our control (for example a technical failure) affects a draw, we may delay it and run it as soon as we can.

12. Keep it fun

The Lottery is a free bonus on top of your offer earnings, not a way to make money. Most tickets don't win. Complete offers because they are worth it to you, not just for tickets.
