The online lottery industry is currently suffering from a lack of growth. This is due to limited transparency and decentralization as well as hidden fees, convoluted rules, cheating, and a lack of trust. Third party involvement has also been shown to severely influence prize payouts and skew draw results, reducing the public’s trust in traditional lottery systems. The aim of SmartBillions is to provide the public with a fully transparent lottery system and freedom to participate for everyone around the world.

SmartBillions, is the world’s first lottery system that is completely transparent, decentralized, and fully anonymous. The platform is actually a smart contract that runs on the Ethereum Block chain. It will allow people all over the world to partake in online gambling in a multibillion dollar industry that’s constantly booming.

How Is SmartBillions Different?

SmartBillions aims to eliminate the fear of cheating, unfair taxes, and strict regulations. Run on an entirely decentralized platform and not influenced by any organization, company, or party. The lotteries secure system ensures that cheating and unsportsmanlike manipulations are gone. As a matter of fact, SmartBillions is holding a hackathon, offering anyone that can breach their smart contracts security system $500,000 prior to the ICO.

The Lottery system

Lottery players will have to create combinations of six number, ranging between 0 and 15. Payouts occur after at least 2 correct matches. With there being a draw every 15-20 seconds. Users can expect nearly instantaneous bet placements and instant payouts in ETH. The chances of winning a jackpot are also higher than in traditional lotteries, with odds being 1 to 16,7 million. Also, identities do not need to be verified in order to participate in the lottery.

In addition to Smartbillions stakes being the safest in the world, they will also be the highest, with user jackpots reaching $2.5 billion dollars on occasion.

What’s to come for SmartBillions

The SmartBillions lottery will initially be accessible through a website, with a mobile app set to follow in Q1 2018, designed to simplify lottery participation for mobile users.
