Popular Bitcoin lotteries

OVEX Bitcoin lottery

OVEX is a South African cryptocurrency exchange that allows one to trade with up to 18 altcoins and features over the counter services. But what’s really interesting is the weekly OVEX Bitcoin lottery. The amount of Bitcoin one stand to win may vary from week to week. This week’s jackpot, for example, is 0.5 BTC and it is free to enter. All you have to do is complete some simple tasks on the exchange for which you will earn lotto tickets. This includes activating your two-factor authentication, completing the KYC etc.

When you have collected your tickets, you can pick your own winning numbers between 1 – 22 or make use of the OVEX QuickPick tool that will generate numbers for you.

If there was no winner in the weekly draw, the jackpot will simply roll over to the following week. The jackpot will also increase. There is also a second prize of 0.01 BTC up for grabs.

In a blog post, OVEX said that the odds of winning in their lottery is 1 in 5 million per ticket. One’s odds of winning in the South African National Lottery is 1 in 140 million.

No deposit bonuses are available to new players. You are eligible for this type of bonus if you deposit some Bitcoin upon signing up. You can also get free spins no deposit bonuses which translates into a certain number of free spins when playing certain games.
