# How do Babylon raffles work?

Raffles take place automatically, after the NFT editions they accompany sell out or are settled. Each Mint Pass purchased for a specific NFT edition grants its holder one entry for that specific raffle, so the more Mint Passes you hold, the greater your chance of winning the raffled NFT. 

Raffle winners are randomly selected via the Chainlink VRF API immediately after the NFT edition sells out or is settled by the artist. The raffle prize NFT is then automatically transferred to the wallet the winner used to purchase their Mint Pass.  

**NB:** *In very rare instances, the Chainlink VRF API may fail to return a winner. The primary reasons for this are that the API is overloaded, or that the raffled NFT has not been whitelisted (as may be the case with public listings unverified by Babylon). Should this happen, the edition listing can be canceled by any user after 24 hours, and Mint Pass holders can claim a refund.*

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.babylon.art/babylon-info/collectors/faq/how-do-babylon-raffles-work.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
