# How to play Lottery
## When to enter a round?
Not all Lottery games are created equal. When a Lottery jackpot is not won, the reward pool for the following round grows; the longer it has been since someone has won the jackpot, the greater the Lottery prize pool will be.
The longer a round is available, the more individuals who can purchase a ticket. Each ticket purchased adds to the prize pool. Here's how to see the prize pool and remaining time for the current round.
1. Visit the[ ](https://pancakeswap.finance/lottery)MiaSwap Lottery page
This is the amount to be shared between all winners.
2. The remaining time before the current round is drawn may be found a bit lower down the page.
Keep in mind that a lot might happen in the remaining period. It is possible that many more tickets will be sold. Each ticket sold raises the prize pool while decreasing the probability of an individual ticket winning.
If you're undecided, you may always decide later in the round when you have more knowledge. Just don't wait too long or you'll miss out!
