Allocations
The supply is fixed. Oversubscription changes your odds, never the size of the raise.
Only winning entries are ever charged. Everything else sits in escrow for the length of the draw and is returned in full. However large the escrow number gets, this mint raises exactly — — supply times price, and not a lamport more.
How it works
Four steps, and you can verify the only one that involves chance.

This runs in your browser, on your machine. It is a port of the same permutation the settlement contract uses, pinned to a shared test vector so the two cannot drift apart.
Questions
The ones that decide whether you should enter at all.
What happens if I lose?
You get back exactly what you put in. Losing entries are never charged — the escrow is released in full when the draw settles. No fee is taken from a losing entry.
Can you rig the draw?
The seed is committed publicly before entries open and revealed after they close, combined with a block hash from a slot that had not happened yet. To choose the winners we would have to have chosen the seed knowing entries we could not see, or predicted a future block. The verifier above lets you confirm the published seed produces the published winners.
Does entering more times help?
Yes — proportionally, and that is the whole of it. Ten entries are ten independent positions in the same permutation. Entering earlier does not help: position in the draw is independent of when you entered, which is deliberate, because a draw that rewards speed is a first-come sale wearing a costume.
Why a draw instead of first-come?
A first-come sale for something oversubscribed is won by whoever writes the fastest bot. A draw makes the fast bot worth nothing, and it means a person on a phone has the same odds per entry as a co-located server.
Where does the money go?
Into building Zoza World. The product exists and ships today across desktop, Android and iOS — this funds the next stage of it, not the idea of it.
