Mode family: Jackpot
In a PackDraw Jackpot battle the winner is picked at random by a weighted spinner. Your odds equal your share of the total value pulled, so the biggest puller is the favourite, not the certain winner. There are three Jackpot modes: Jackpot, Upside Down Jackpot and Last Chance Jackpot.
A weighted spinner picks the winner. Your slice equals your share of the total value pulled.
The spinner decides. Player A is the favourite, not the winner yet.
This part is identical to a Normal battle.
So is the total value pulled by the whole battle.
Your slice of the spinner is your share of the battle's total value. Half the value means half the spinner.
The pick is random and weighted by slice size. Bigger slices are more likely to be picked. No slice is certain.
The spin decides who collects. It does not change what was pulled.
Take the invented battle from the card above. Under Normal rules, Player A's $60 total is an outright win and the other two are finished. Under Jackpot rules that same $60 is a 50% slice. Player B still holds a third of the spinner and Player C a sixth.
That is the whole difference. Normal turns the best total into a win. Jackpot turns every total into a chance.
| Mode | What sets your slice | Who gets the biggest slice |
|---|---|---|
| Jackpot | Your share of the total value pulled | The highest total |
| Upside Down Jackpot | How little you pulled | The lowest total |
| Last Chance Jackpot | Your final pack only | The highest final pack |
After the packs are opened, a weighted spinner chooses the winner at random. Your odds equal your share of the total value pulled in the battle.
| Player | Pack 1 | Pack 2 | Pack 3 | Spinner share | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Player A | $50 | $4 | $6 | 50% | Largest slice |
| Player B | $8 | $12 | $20 | 33.3% | Middle slice |
| Player C | $3 | $9 | $8 | 16.7% | Smallest slice |
A weighted spinner still picks the winner, but the weighting is reversed. The less value you pulled, the better your odds. It sits in the Upside Down family as well.
| Player | Pack 1 | Pack 2 | Pack 3 | Spinner slice | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Player A | $50 | $4 | $6 | Smallest | Total $60 |
| Player B | $8 | $12 | $20 | Middle | Total $40 |
| Player C | $3 | $9 | $8 | Largest | Total $20 |
Not documented
PackDraw's published description doesn't cover this; check the battle lobby.
A weighted spinner picks the winner, and the odds are based only on each player's final pack. It shares its final-pack rule with the Last Chance family.
| Player | Pack 1 | Pack 2 | Pack 3 | Spinner slice | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Player A | $50 | $4 | $6 | Smallest | Final $6 |
| Player B | $8 | $12 | $20 | Largest | Final $20 |
| Player C | $3 | $9 | $8 | Middle | Final $8 |
Jackpot stacks one random event on another. The packs are random, and then the spin is random. Two things follow from the documented rule.
Neither point is an edge. A larger slice is only ever the result of what the packs gave you, and you cannot steer that.
No. The highest total gets the largest slice of the spinner, but the spinner picks the winner at random. A player holding a small slice can win, and a player holding most of the spinner can lose.
In standard Jackpot your odds equal your share of the total value pulled in the battle. If the battle pulled $120 in a made-up example and you pulled $60 of it, you would hold 50% of the spinner.
It is a Jackpot battle with the weighting reversed. A spinner still picks the winner, but the less value you pulled, the better your odds. PackDraw does not publish the exact formula.
No. Your slice is set by what the packs happen to give you, which is random, and the spin that follows is random as well. There is nothing to choose once the battle starts.
