The Global Merchant donation system has been retired. Gold is now earned exclusively through the Daily Lottery.

Daily Lottery

The Daily Lottery is a single unified system replacing both the Personal and Global Merchant. Players buy tickets using materials before 12:00 UTC each day. The draw runs at 12:00 UTC — each winning ticket pays 1 Gold. Players have until midnight UTC to claim winnings or reclaim materials from losing tickets (50% of materials returned on losing tickets).

Ticket allowances are based on $KINS held for at least 24 hours:

Gather these resources per ticket entry:

Resources Type	Amount per Ticket
Wood	2,600
Stone	1,400
Coal	800
Cooked Fish	40

If you need more tickets, multiply the resources based on your target ticket amount.

• Winning Tickets: Gold is claimable after the 12:00 UTC draw.
• Losing Tickets: 50% of materials are returned.
• Note: Entering has a real cost — only stake materials you're prepared to lose.

How to Enter

1. Prepare your resources
2. Go to the Traveling Merchant
3. Tap the Traveling Merchant
4. Choose "Daily Lottery"
5. Tap "Enter 1 ticket" (or the maximum tickets you can buy as long as you have enough resources)
