Every coin saved in your Bank becomes a lottery ticket.
At the end of this task, the computer will draw a random number between 1 and 5,000.
If the random number is equal to or less than your total tickets, you win €5.
If the random number is higher, you win nothing.

This is your individual lottery — your result depends only on your own performance, not on other participants.
After choosing a sector and seeing your coins, those coins become your Pocket Money for that wave. Before the mini-game starts, you must decide:
