# How to Play

> [!WARNING]
>
> **Ticket purchasing is no longer available in the Megapot app.** Autoplay, add funds, the play page, and the Telegram Mini App play flow have been removed. Existing tickets still enter daily drawings. The app shuts down on December 1, 2026; the protocol continues to run. [Read Announcement](https://megapot.io/blog/thank-you-for-playing).

Each ticket costs **\$1 USDC**. Drawings happen daily. Use this page to check results and review tickets you already hold.

***

## After the Drawing

Drawings happen **daily**. After each one:

1. **Check results** — See the winning numbers on the homepage
2. **View matches** — Your tickets show how many numbers matched
3. **Claim winnings.** Prizes pay out to your wallet, in most cases instantly.

The lowest prize tier now pays **USDC cash** (it no longer awards a free ticket).

> [!NOTE]
>
> The prize winnings you take out of Megapot add up over time. While your total is $500 or less, you need only a short one-time identity check. Once it goes over that, [full verification](https://docs.megapot.io/learn/kyc.md) applies. A single prize of $1,000 or more also requires a [public winner celebration](https://docs.megapot.io/appendix/guaranteed-prizes.md#claiming-prizes-of-\$1000-or-more) and is held for review before it can be claimed.
