THE ZERO-LOSS LOTTERY
Win the prize.Keep your money.
A lottery where nobody loses. Your ticket money earns in a bond, the interest is the prize, and every ticket comes back to you in full. Suresh, Ram and Ravi will show you.
01BUY TICKETS
Buy tickets.Each one has its own number.
Pick a lottery and buy tickets, paid at Garage checkout. Every ticket gets its own number.
Example: ₹100 tickets, 8% bond interest for the term, 70% of it to the winner. Real lotteries have many more players.
02INTO ONE POOL
Into one pool.Nobody spends it.
All the ticket money goes into one pool. Our three hundred rupees sit together, untouched.
Example: ₹100 tickets, 8% bond interest for the term, 70% of it to the winner. Real lotteries have many more players.
03INVESTED IN A BOND
The pool earns.The interest is the prize.
At the lock-up, sales stop and the whole pool is invested in a Garage bond for its term. The bond pays interest, and that interest becomes the prize.
Example: ₹100 tickets, 8% bond interest for the term, 70% of it to the winner. Real lotteries have many more players.
04THE LIVE DRAW
One winner, live.Fair, and anyone can check it.
When the bond pays back, one ticket is picked in a live draw, and its owner takes the winner's share of the interest. The draw is provably fair: anyone can re-run it and get the same winner.
Example: ₹100 tickets, 8% bond interest for the term, 70% of it to the winner. Real lotteries have many more players.
05100% BACK
Everyone gets it back.Win or not, you keep your money.
Every player gets every rupee of their ticket money back, to their Garage Store Vault. The winner keeps the prize on top.
Example: ₹100 tickets, 8% bond interest for the term, 70% of it to the winner. Real lotteries have many more players.
