# Lottery Types

## What lottery types does CoinLotto have, and how do they differ?

CoinLotto has three lottery types on the same protocol infrastructure.

* **Protocol Lottery** - launched by CoinLotto, tickets in the entry token set for the lottery; the primary participation path, offers CLT Reward per Ticket and Missions, funds Super Lottery Prize Pools.
* **Super Lottery** - launched by CoinLotto, tickets in CLT; a less frequent, larger Prize Pool event funded by linked Protocol Lottery allocations.
* **User-Created Lottery** - launched by a Creator, tickets in a creator-selected ERC-20 token; permissionless lottery creation for communities, creators, projects, and partners.

All three follow the same core rules: unique on-chain ticket numbers at purchase, fixed rules from creation, publicly verifiable draws and Prize Pools, full Prize Pool distribution at finalization, and manual claims by the entitled wallets.

See [Compare Lotteries](/lottery-types/compare-lotteries) for a detailed comparison.

## What is a Protocol Lottery?

Protocol Lotteries are CoinLotto's primary lottery type.

They run more frequently, and every ticket purchase does three things at once:

* enters you into that lottery's draw;
* earns you the CLT Reward per Ticket displayed on the lottery card before purchase;
* directs 10% of ticket revenue to one linked Super Lottery Prize Pool (transferred immediately with each purchase).

Protocol Lotteries are also the only lottery type where Missions can be completed.

See [Protocol Lottery](/lottery-types/protocol-lottery) for the complete model.

## What is the Super Lottery and how do I enter?

Super Lotteries are less frequent, larger Prize Pool events launched by CoinLotto.

Tickets are purchased with CLT - the token you earn through Protocol Lottery play, Missions, and referrals.

The Super Lottery Prize Pool itself is funded separately, by the 10% allocations from linked Protocol Lotteries, and is paid out in the entry token of those lotteries.

A Super Lottery may receive allocations from multiple linked Protocol Lotteries, and CoinLotto can operate multiple Super Lotteries. Super Lotteries do not provide a CLT Reward per Ticket, and Missions are not available in them. A 5% CLT Protocol Fee applies to CLT used to enter.

See [Super Lottery](/lottery-types/super-lottery) for Prize Pool funding and entry details.

## Can anyone create a lottery on CoinLotto?

Yes. Launching a User-Created Lottery is permissionless: any wallet can do it through CoinLotto. The Creator configures the lottery at creation, and once live its rules cannot be changed. See [Launch a Lottery](/lottery-mechanics/launch-a-lottery) for the full creator flow.
