Lotto Mining
Covers all 25 tiles every round so you always have a share of the winning square’s ORE. Type 3 Split path — early fire.
What it does
Every ORE round uses a 5×5 grid. Lotto Mining puts you on every tile, so whichever square wins, you hold a share of that tile’s ORE. You are not trying to pick winners — you are buying full-grid coverage.
In plain english
Pay a fixed SOL budget each round, spread across all 25 tiles. You never miss the winning square for ORE coverage — but you also never concentrate on the best tiles.
Settings
SOL per round
Total SOL this miner spends covering the full grid each round. The crank divides it across all 25 tiles (subject to on-chain minimums and your balance after fees).
SOL per round: 0.2500 SOL
Tiles covered: 25 / 25
Roughly per tile: ~0.0100 SOL
Starting recommendation
Start with a modest per-round amount (for example 0.1 SOL) and add Crowded-round skip gate or Motherlode range gate if you want to sit out some rounds.
Gates
Optional skip gates in the strategy picker (off by default). They do not change tiles or amounts — only whether this round fires.
- Crowded-round skip gate — sit out when recent network-wide SOL is above your cap. See Crowded-round skip gate.
- Motherlode range gate — sit out when the live motherlode pool is below your min or above your max ORE. Leave a side empty to ignore that bound. See Motherlode range gate.
How to set up
-
Connect your Solana wallet on the Mining page.
-
Create a miner and choose Lotto Mining in the strategy picker.
Set how much SOL to spend per round.
-
Sign the transaction. This creates your miner accounts on-chain (Manager + Strategy Deployer + ORE Miner). Cost ≈ 0.005 SOL (account setup).
-
Deposit SOL. Transfer SOL into your miner’s autodeploy balance. Minimum 0.03 SOL; 0.3 SOL or more gives runway for many rounds.
-
Done. The crank runs this strategy each round. Activity shows deploys and skip reasons.
When it skips a round
- Paused or out of autodeploy balance
- Per-round budget too small after fees / minimums
- Optional Crowded-round skip trips on high recent network deploy
- Optional Motherlode range skip when the live pool is outside your min/max
Things to know
- Coverage, not edge. You are always on the winner for ORE share, but you also fund quiet and crowded tiles alike.
- Early fire. Lotto uses the Split / early path so the full mask lands before late snipers.
- Not guaranteed profit. SOL returns are per-tile fees on your own stake; ORE still depends on the winning square.
