How a World Tombola competition works

World Tombola runs skill-based prize competitions as an amusement product, not a lottery. You pick a prize, answer a skill question, and only a correct answer produces a numbered ticket. A later published draw among those tickets decides the winner. Filed SIC 93290 amusement. Draw-ledger rows stay labelled as samples until a public draw is run. Sold ticket counts currently read zero because campaign windows have not opened.

  1. Step 1

    Choose a prize

    Each competition is a finite pool of tickets for one prize. Ticket price and remaining tickets are shown on the card.

  2. Step 2

    Answer a skill question

    Paid entry is accepted only after a correct answer. The question is a filter, not a badge.

  3. Step 3

    Receive a numbered ticket

    Only then is a ticket allocated. Ticket numbers do not change chance after you qualify.

  4. Step 4

    Published draw

    When a real draw runs, a seed and SHA-256 hash are published so anyone can recompute the hash. Sample rows on the ledger are not completed public draws.
