Introduction
Lightning Ball by Evolution is a Powerball-style live casino game with a favorable RTP of 97.03% at minimum bet on a single ticket. Players purchase tickets containing five regular numbers (1–30) and one power number (1–10), then watch two separate ball machines draw the winning numbers. A randomly generated lightning multiplier (2x–50x) boosts payouts for tickets that match at least one regular number and the power number.
Tickets & Setup
Purchase up to 200 tickets in bundles of 1, 25, 50, or 100. Each ticket has a unique combination of five regular numbers (1–30) and one power number (1–10). Ticket value can be adjusted during betting time and applies to all tickets for that round. Additional packs can be added after initial purchase.
Draw Mechanics
Regular Ball Draw
First machine draws 5 balls from a pool of 30. Any ticket number matching a drawn ball is daubed in red. This establishes the base match count.
Lightning Multiplier
After the regular draw, the presenter pulls a lever to generate a random lightning multiplier of 2x–50x. Applied to tickets with at least one regular match that also match the power number.
Power Ball Draw
Second machine draws 1 ball from a pool of 10. Tickets with at least one regular match AND a power number match receive the lightning multiplier boost on their payout.
