**Lucky8** is a [lossless lottery](https://lucky8xrd.com) built on the [Radix](/contents/tech/core-protocols/radix-engine) network. Players stake a minimum of 1,000 [XRD](/contents/tech/core-protocols/xrd-token) to the Lucky8 [validator node](https://dashboard.radixdlt.com/network-staking/validator_rdx1sw2qt9k0placmjgwku2kvk66c2v8v0f9ny2fkvzhsh7wwzey6g7zam), farm the project's native **$LUCK** token while staked, and become eligible for recurring XRD prize draws. Because the stake is never spent, participants can unstake their principal at any time – the "lossless" model – while their chance to win comes from the pooled staking rewards rather than from a ticket purchase.

## How the lossless lottery works

Lucky8 funds its jackpots through its [validator's fee](https://dashboard.radixdlt.com/network-staking/validator_rdx1sw2qt9k0placmjgwku2kvk66c2v8v0f9ny2fkvzhsh7wwzey6g7zam): the node runs a **100% validator fee**, so the emissions that would normally flow to stakers are instead directed into the Lucky8 prize pool. Delegators forgo ordinary staking yield and receive $LUCK tokens plus lottery entries in its place. On-ledger the validator holds 7,972,823.82 XRD at mainnet epoch 335,551 (16 August 2026), ranking 81st of the 188 registered validators and sitting inside the 100-strong active set with 0.167% of active stake; its recorded 30-day uptime was 75.15% when the [Radix Dashboard](https://dashboard.radixdlt.com/network-staking/validator_rdx1sw2qt9k0placmjgwku2kvk66c2v8v0f9ny2fkvzhsh7wwzey6g7zam) was read on 17 July 2026. The validator is registered, accepts delegated stake, and its `validator_fee_factor` reads `1` – the full 100%, with no fee-change request pending.

The route from that fee to the prize pool is visible in the same substate. A validator fee is paid to the owner as [stake units](/contents/tech/core-concepts/liquid-stake-units) held in a locked owner vault, and Lucky8’s carries 1,116.43 of them against 26 queued withdrawals of roughly 1,400 units each – one requested about every 288 epochs, or once a day, and each unlocking some four weeks later, so that the queue runs out to epoch 343,385. A further 186,287.25 XRD sits in the validator’s pending withdrawal vault. The emissions a delegator gives up are not accumulating on the node; they are being unstaked in daily instalments.

### $LUCK token

$LUCK is Lucky8's native token, farmed continuously by anyone staking XRD to the validator. $LUCK is spent to enter the larger periodic draws; the monthly draw advertises a minimum jackpot of 20,000 XRD and the yearly draw a minimum of 120,000 XRD, both paid in XRD.

## Prizes and partners

Beyond the XRD jackpots, Lucky8 has partnered with a range of Radix NFT and community projects that contribute tokens and NFTs as supplementary prizes – including [VikingLand](/ecosystem/vikingland), Radical Penguins, Radix Panda, RadHeads, Mutant Cat Society and Radix Frogz Society, among others.

## How to play

Staking to Lucky8 uses the standard Radix flow: open the [Radix Wallet](https://wallet.radixdlt.com), go to Stake, paste the Lucky8 validator address (`validator_rdx1sw…ey6g7zam`), delegate at least 1,000 XRD and confirm the transaction. Staked XRD immediately begins farming $LUCK and earning lottery entries; principal can be unstaked at any time subject to the network's unstaking delay.
