Hey Anthony, nice work so far. Jackpot-style games are a tough space to build in, but there’s real upside. No one’s really cracked onchain versions yet, even though they’re everywhere offchain.

What you’re building reminds me a bit of lottery mechanics, so I wanted to share a couple examples that might offer inspiration. Both run on L2s to keep participation cheap.

As for feedback, I’d suggest skipping Hacker News and instead narrowing in on the specific market you're targeting. Join focused crypto communities (if you haven’t already), especially ones where people are already playing onchain games. Invite them into your own space (Discord, Telegram, etc.) and start building in public -- share updates weekly, gather feedback, and increase engagement over time.

Use that to test key questions: how people experience onboarding, what they think of the odds, how sticky the game feels. For security, definitely find a way to get an audit from a reputable firm.

Hope that helps.
