Tommy Park, 23, is a senior at UCLA studying computer science. When he discovered LOTTERII through TikTok, he had $47,000 in student loans and $200 in his checking account. Six months later, multiple SPARK and TITAN wins allowed him to graduate debt-free. This is how Gen Z is approaching the four-tier system.

LOTTERII: Tommy, you’re 23 years old and you paid off $47K in student loans with LOTTERII wins. Walk us through that.
Tommy: [laughs] Yeah, it’s wild. I’m graduating in three months completely debt-free. Most of my friends owe $40K-80K. That’s going to hang over them for a decade.
I started playing SPARK back in August. Saw it on TikTok – someone showing their wins, the 73% rate, the whole thing. I’m a CS major, so I ran the probability math. It checked out.
How much were you spending?
Started with just $10 a week on SPARK. Three-dollar entries. Won about 70-75% of the time. Made like $40 profit the first month.
Then I bumped it to $20 a week. Started tracking everything in a spreadsheet – dates, entries, wins, ROI. After three months of SPARK, I was up about $200 total.
That’s when I started playing TITAN.
Five-dollar entries for the million-dollar prize?
Exactly. I budgeted $30 a week total – $10 for SPARK, $20 for TITAN. As a broke college student, that was a lot. But I was eating ramen and skipping coffee runs to make it work.
Played TITAN for two months. Hit some lower tiers – $100 here, $500 there. Nothing huge. But those wins kept funding more plays.
Then in December, boom. TITAN jackpot: $923,847.
Almost a million dollars. What was your reaction?
[grins] I was in the library studying for finals. Got the notification. Literally screamed. Librarian told me to shut up. I ran outside and called my mom.
My mom’s been working two jobs to help me through college. And I’m telling her, ‘Mom, you can quit the second job. I just won almost a million dollars.’
She didn’t believe me until I sent her the blockchain transaction.
What did you do with the money?
After taxes, I cleared about $630K. First thing: paid off all my student loans. $47,000. Gone. That felt incredible.
Gave my mom $100K to pay off her mortgage. Set aside $300K for grad school and living expenses – I’m going for my master’s. Put $100K in index funds. Kept $83K liquid.
I’m 23 years old, graduating debt-free, with a paid-off grad school education and $100K invested. That’s insane for my generation.
How do your friends react?
Half of them started playing immediately. The other half think I just got lucky.
But I show them my spreadsheet. Three months of SPARK data. 74.2% win rate. The math is real. Then they start playing too.
What’s the Gen Z perspective on LOTTERII?
We’re the first generation that’s going to be worse off financially than our parents. Student debt, housing costs, job automation – it’s all stacked against us.
So when something comes along with actual achievable odds – 1 in 2,187 for a million instead of 1 in 292 million – we pay attention. That’s not a lottery. That’s opportunity.
Plus, blockchain transparency? We trust that more than government-run lotteries. We grew up with crypto. We get it.
Are you still playing?
Every week. SPARK for fun. TITAN occasionally. And I’ve started playing LEGEND.
I figure I hit TITAN at 23. If I hit LEGEND at 25 for $10 million? That’s generational. That’s ‘my kids never worry about money’ territory.
What would you tell other college students?
Don’t spend money you need for rent or food. But if you’ve got $10-20 a week in entertainment budget? This is better expected value than the bars or restaurants.
Start with SPARK. Track your results. See the 73% win rate yourself. If it holds up, maybe try TITAN.
I went from $47K in debt to debt-free in six months. That’s not normal. But the opportunity is real.
Last question: What’s your LOTTERII goal now?
[smiles] Hit LEGEND before I turn 25. Then… who knows? Maybe hunt the BEAST.
My generation needs wins. We need hope. LOTTERII gives us both. And the math actually backs it up.
From $3 SPARK to $100M BEAST. That’s the path. And I’m walking it.
