Fortuna FAQ

Question 1

What is Fortuna?

Accepted Answer

Fortuna is a data-driven lottery intelligence platform — not a prophecy engine or an LLM prompt wrapper. It bundles a global draw collector (CHRONOS), AI-guided analysis personas (PYTHIA/ATHENA), personal pattern analytics (DNA), and a cryptographically verifiable prediction track record (Hall of Fame).

Question 2

Which lotteries and languages are supported?

Accepted Answer

Fortuna currently reads its supported lottery count from the active DB registry: 156 lotteries across 41 countries. The UI is natively localized in 7 languages: Korean, English, Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese, Japanese, and French. Major covered lotteries include Powerball/Mega Millions, EuroMillions, EuroJackpot, UK Lotto, 6aus49, Loterías, Totoloto, Baloto, El Gordo, OZ Lotto, and Lotto 6/45.

Question 3

Does Fortuna sell lottery tickets?

Accepted Answer

No — Fortuna never processes ticket purchases or lottery payments. We provide number recommendations and analytics from analysis-built logic. The actual purchase happens on the official lottery operator's site or a licensed retailer in your jurisdiction.

Question 4

What are Fortuna Credits (FC)?

Accepted Answer

FC is the in-app credit used for paid features — Deep/Ensemble strategy runs, DNA imports beyond the free quota, and Lab premium data. Signing up grants 50 FC welcome credits, and every free account also gets recurring weekly free rounds without spending FC (Starter: 2 rounds per week; the count rises with each tier up to Diamond at 10 rounds per week). Each round seals 5 games.

Question 5

What are Balance Mode and Breaker Mode?

Accepted Answer

Two FC-powered strategy profiles. Balance/Karma Mode (100 FC) biases picks toward statistically fair distributions; Breaker Mode (80 FC) intentionally breaks common human-selection patterns to reduce shared-prize risk. Both ride on the same commit-then-match pipeline.

Question 6

Is there a multi-draw discount?

Accepted Answer

Yes — committing the same predicted set across multiple future draws applies a tiered discount automatically. The multiplier depends on draw count and the lottery's base FC cost. The final amount is always shown before you confirm.

Question 7

How does the Hall of Fame prove predictions were made before the draw?

Accepted Answer

Every strategy set is SHA-256 hashed and committed to a database seed before the official draw closes (Commit-Then-Match, ADR-0003). After the draw, the raw set is revealed and anyone can verify the hash matches the pre-draw commit — retrofitting is mathematically impossible.

Question 8

What counts as a "hit" in the Hall of Fame?

Accepted Answer

A "hit" is any committed set whose main-number match count meets the K-Aware threshold for that lottery (ADR-0005/0006): 5+ for 5/n lotteries, 6+ for 6/n, and 7+ for 7+/n. The "K-Aware Hits" counter shown across the platform (Hall of Fame stats, performance summary, /hof) is the cumulative count of those threshold-meeting predictions — it is not a flat "5 of anything" rule, and lower-match near-misses are not counted.

Question 9

Can I verify a specific prediction myself?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every HoF entry exposes a Merkle inclusion proof. Download the leaf hash, sibling path, and the published Merkle root for that draw, then run the verification locally (or via the built-in verifier) to confirm the set was part of the pre-draw commit universe.

Question 10

What does DNA Analysis actually measure?

Accepted Answer

DNA is a self-diagnostic of your own picking habits — not a draw predictor. The DNA card surfaces six blocks: Soul Numbers (numbers you disproportionately favor), Blind Spots (numbers you almost never pick), Bias Index (how far your distribution drifts from uniform, 0–100%), DNA Confidence (read trustworthiness given your sample size), Reality Check (where your numbers sit against historical draw outcomes), and Backtest (average / best / 3+ match counts when your picks are replayed against past draws).

Question 11

Why is some Analysis Lab data locked?

Accepted Answer

Lab applies VIP-tier data gating (ADR-0008). Public-tier shows baseline stats (hot/cold, frequency, basic backtests). Deeper pattern analyzers, window optimization, and portfolio-level metrics are gated behind VIP tier or unlocked per-run with FC.

Question 12

How do I sign up and sign in?

Accepted Answer

Click "Sign Up" in the top nav and register by email (with verification) or Google Sign-In. Every new account gets 50 FC welcome credit. Sensitive routes require email verification; admin-only routes are role-gated (ADR-0007).

Question 13

How does Fortuna protect my account and data?

Accepted Answer

Five layers of defense-in-depth: Cloudflare DNS proxy + Bot Fight, S3/R2 audit Logpush, scraping/rate-limit guards on public endpoints, email verification + canary allowlist for sensitive actions, and role-based middleware (requireAuth / adminOnly) on every protected API route. Tokens are short-lived and refreshed via authFetch.

Question 14

What is the difference between Modern and Classic mode?

Accepted Answer

Pure visual themes — data, features, and tier entitlements are identical in both (ADR-0008). Modern is the default dark, purple-accent UI; Classic is a lighter, high-contrast layout. Toggle anytime from the floating Classic / Modern switch at the bottom-right of every page.

Question 15

Can I really try Fortuna without signing up?

Accepted Answer

Yes — guests get the first analysis-built number set free, no email and no card, in about 30 seconds. Signing up afterward unlocks the recurring weekly free quota, the Hall of Fame trail tied to your account, DNA analysis, and the FC welcome bonus.

Question 16

What exactly is included in the free sign-up bonus?

Accepted Answer

50 FC welcome credit, plus a recurring weekly free round quota that scales with your tier. New accounts start at Starter — 2 free rounds per week (each round seals 5 games), so 10 games per week / about 520 games per year just on the free quota. The 50 FC welcome credit covers another 5 Smart rounds (25 games). Higher tiers get more weekly rounds — up to 10 rounds per week at Diamond. No card required; weekly quota refills automatically. FC is only consumed for Deep/Ensemble, Balance/Breaker, or premium Lab data.

Question 17

How many number sets do I get per round?

Accepted Answer

Five games per round. All five sets are SHA-256 sealed together before the next draw and written to the Hall of Fame as a single batch — so every line in the set is verifiable, not just your favorite one.

Question 18

What are Smart, Deep, and Ensemble?

Accepted Answer

Three computation tiers, ordered by depth and cost. Smart = fast frequency/pattern heuristics (cheapest, default in free quota). Deep = heavier statistical and shape-driven models on longer windows. Ensemble = both, plus an aggregator cross-verifying candidate sets before commit (highest cost, strongest single decision).

Question 19

Who is ATHENA and how is she different from PYTHIA?

Accepted Answer

Two AI personas with different jobs and screen contexts. ATHENA is the conversational lobby on /home — she greets you, answers platform questions, and deep-links to tools. PYTHIA narrates the Studio, explains the analysis rationale behind a sealed portfolio, and explicitly disclaims certainty. Internally they are presented as separate guides; each is tuned for its own surface.

Question 20

How do I find my country's lottery?

Accepted Answer

Use the Lottery Finder on the home page — drill down Continent → Country → Lottery, or search by name. If your specific lottery isn't in the registry yet, Fortuna auto-maps it to the closest matrix-equivalent (e.g. another 6/45 or 5/50+1/12) so you still get statistically meaningful predictions while the official one is being onboarded.

Question 21

What does the "Recent Activity" feed on the home page show?

Accepted Answer

The last 14 days of HoF, in chronological order — every draw across supported lotteries where Fortuna's pre-committed sets matched 5+ main numbers. Unlike the lifetime stats counter, this feed is time-ordered to show the platform is producing new verified hits right now, not just historically.

Question 22

What does "Promise-to-Proof rate" on the homepage mean?

Accepted Answer

The share of pre-draw SHA-256 commits that were successfully revealed and verified after the draw. 100% means no committed set has been silently dropped — if Fortuna promised a set, its proof exists in the Hall of Fame.

Question 23

Smart Portfolio vs Deep Analysis vs Ensemble Strategy — which one should I pick?

Accepted Answer

Smart for casual play, Deep when trend sensitivity matters, Ensemble for the strongest single decision Fortuna can make. Smart Portfolio (Beginner) is pattern-balance heuristics in the free quota. Deep Analysis (Intermediate) runs thousands of simulations with trend-aware scoring. Ensemble Strategy (Advanced) fuses multiple AI models and cross-verifies their candidates before commit.

Question 24

What are Preset Tools — Slip Preset and Pattern Balance?

Accepted Answer

Hard constraints applied to every AI course. Slip Preset = must-include numbers (up to 5) and must-exclude numbers (up to 30). Pattern Balance = fixed odd/even ratio and sum range (e.g. 100–200). Stored once and re-applied to Smart, Deep and Ensemble alike.

Question 25

What can I do in Analysis Lab and what do its 5 tabs mean?

Accepted Answer

A read-only statistical view across the active lottery registry (156 lotteries right now). Pick a region (US/EU/Asia/LatAm/Africa/Oceania) and a lottery, choose an analysis window (e.g. Last 100 draws), then explore. When you spot something, the Studio handoff button sends the same lottery + window straight to the strategy flow.

Question 26

Does picking a longer analysis window make predictions more accurate?

Accepted Answer

No — longer is not "better." Long windows (Last 500) smooth noise and show structural frequency but dilute trend shifts after rule changes. Short windows (Last 50–100) react faster but are noisier. Lab shows both views; Deep and Ensemble strategy runs already pick an appropriate window per lottery internally.

Question 27

How do I actually use the DNA page?

Accepted Answer

Pick a lottery (region filter + dropdown) and the DNA card immediately shows four blocks: Soul Numbers, Blind Spots, Bias Index, and Confidence. Below it, the DNA Health Dashboard lists every lottery you've registered picks for with a Weak/Fair/Good badge. "View Full DNA Analysis" opens the per-number long-form report.

Question 28

Why does my Confidence score say "Weak" or only 20%?

Accepted Answer

Sample size — DNA needs ~10 saved picks per lottery before a pattern is statistically meaningful. 5 picks → Weak; ~10 → Fair; 20+ → reliable Good. Save more games or use "Register to DNA" in MyPage → Saved Games to feed picks faster.

Question 29

What's on MyPage and how are Saved Games organized?

Accepted Answer

Five tabs: Overview (snapshot), Saved Games (number library), FC Wallet (balance + history), My DNA (per-lottery profile), Profile (account). Saved Games are grouped by lottery + course (e.g. "SuperEnalotto · 5 games · SMART · Sealed") with draw date, FC cost, and per-set balls. Each group has Share, Register to DNA, and Delete actions.

Question 30

What does the green "Sealed" badge on a saved game mean?

Accepted Answer

The set was SHA-256 committed before the corresponding draw closed, so it qualifies for the Hall of Fame. Groups without the badge were produced after the cutoff or on a non-trackable lottery — kept for personal reference but excluded from public verification. Register-to-DNA also prefers Sealed groups when computing Confidence.
