Lottery Ticket Acquisition Conditions:
Condition 1 —— KCS Locking
Transfer Period: From this announcement release time to 23:59:59 on 27/5/2019 (UTC+8).
Locking Period: 12 Days (288 hours)
Locking Rules:
Users are required to transfer a certain number of KCS (hereinafter referred to as “N”) to the specified KCS address iwantchr from their KuCoin main account during the transfer period. (Visit the KCS withdrawal page, fill in the KCS address iwantchr in the wallet address bar.)
KuCoin will automatically return the KCS to the user's main account after 12 days (288 hours) of being locked, based on the transfer time of each transfer, and users get an additional 0.0038*N KCS, a total of 1.0038*N KCS. (The KCS during the locking period is not eligible for the KuCoin Bonus.)
Users will claim the corresponding number of lottery tickets according to the total amount of KCS transferred to the KCS specified address iwantchr during the locking period. (up to a maximum of 4 tickets per eligible account.)
| Serial No. | Total Transferred Amount (N) | No. of Lottery Tickets |
| 1.1 | 300 ≤ N < 580 | 1 |
| 1.2 | 580 ≤ N < 850 | 2 |
| 1.3 | 850 ≤ N < 1110 | 3 |
| 1.4 | 1110 ≤ N | 4 |
For example:
User A transferred 200 KCS to the specified KCS address iwantchr at 10:00:00 (UTC+8) on May 18, 2019, and transferred 500 KCS to the specified KCS address iwantchr at 18:00:00 (UTC+8) on May 23, 2019.
KuCoin will return 200.76 KCS at 10:00:00 (UTC+8) on May 30, 2019, and return 501.9 KCS at 18:00:00 (UTC+8) on June 4, 2019.
So user A matches the condition of Serial No.1.2 and will receive 2 lottery tickets.
Note:
1. When transferring KCS there will be a discounted fee of 0.001 KCS applied to all KCS transfers until the end of this round of Spotlight sales.
2. The KCS locked to accumulate lottery tickets (condition 1) cannot be deducted for the Spotlight purchase of CHR. Please, make sure the additional corresponding amount of KCS is available in the 'trading account' for deduction for winning lottery ticket holders no later than 21:00:00 on May 28, 2019 (UTC+8).
Condition 2 —— KCS Holding Amount
Counting period: From 00:00:00 (UTC+8) on 14/4/2019 to 00:00:00 (UTC+8) on 13/5/2019
KCS Holding Rules:
KuCoin took daily snapshots of KCS holdings starting at 00:00:00 (UTC+8) on April 14, 2019, and ending at 23:59:59 (UTC+ 8) on May 13, 2019.
From these daily snapshots each user’s daily average of KCS holdings was determined, and this entitles each user to a corresponding number of lottery tickets based solely on the average daily KCS balance within the 30-day counting period held by each user (hereinafter referred to as "X").
| Serial No. | Average Daily KCS Balance (X) | No. of Lottery Tickets |
| 2.1 | 500 ≤ X < 1000 | 1 |
| 2.2 | 1000 ≤ X < 1500 | 2 |
| 2.3 | 1500 ≤ X < 2000 | 3 |
| 2.4 | 2000 ≤ X < 30000 | 4 |
| 2.5 | X ≥30000 | 100 |
*Sub-accounts can’t participate in the token sale as an independent account. However, the KCS holdings in the Sub-accounts will be combined into the Master account for the calculation of average daily KCS balance.
For example:
User B has a daily average of 1600 KCS in the 30-day counting period, which matches the condition of Serial No.2.3 and will receive 3 lottery tickets.
