# Buying Tickets

Buying a raffle ticket enters you into the draw for that token. Each ticket gives you an equal chance of winning.

## How to Buy

1. Navigate to a **Live** raffle from the home page.
2. Connect your wallet if you haven't already.
3. Select how many tickets you want (1-10 per transaction) using the dropdown.
4. Click **Buy Ticket(s)**.
5. Sign the transaction in your wallet.

Each ticket is purchased and processed sequentially. You'll see a confirmation toast for each successful ticket.

## What It Costs

* **Paid raffles:** The ticket price in APT (displayed on the raffle page) plus a small gas fee.
* **Free raffles:** Gas only (fractions of a cent on Aptos).

## What Happens When You Win

Winners are selected by Aptos on-chain randomness (VRF) at the raffle's configured draw frequency. When you win:

* The winning tokens are sent directly to your wallet.
* Your win appears in the **Recent Blocks** feed on the raffle page.
* Your stats update on the **Dashboard**.

You can win multiple times in the same raffle if you buy multiple tickets across multiple draws.

## If the Raffle Ends

You can't buy tickets once a raffle is:

* **Sold Out** — All raffle tokens have been distributed
* **Expired** — The raffle reached its time limit
* **Migrated** — Liquidity has already moved to the DEX

The buy button text changes to reflect the current state.

## Tips

* Each ticket is independent — buying 10 tickets gives you 10 separate chances, not 10x odds on a single draw.
* Check the draw frequency before buying. A 1-second draw is fast; a 30-minute draw means fewer draws per day.
* Watch the minting progress bar. If it's close to full, the raffle may sell out soon.
