One set of choices.
A server-checked result.

What happens during a search

When a search starts, the server creates a session with its own allowance and expiry. The browser receives the information needed to display the tree and run the interface, but not the hidden winning bill ID. Marking bills is local until you submit the batch.

On submission, the server checks that the session belongs to the player, remains eligible, and contains valid, distinct bill IDs within the allowance. It then compares that set with the hidden result. Changing a number in browser tools or sending a forged “winner” message does not replace those checks.

A result animation follows a successful server response. The animation is presentation, not proof on its own. This describes the implemented checks, not an independent security audit or a promise that abuse is impossible.

Understanding the chance

For a search with one hidden target among 2,400 bills and six distinct selections, the displayed chance is 6 ÷ 2,400: 0.25%, or one in 400. Forty distinct choices in one search correspond to about 1.67%. Extra choices improve that search’s chance but never guarantee a successful find.

These are per-search probabilities, not a schedule of wins. A run of unsuccessful searches does not make the next search a promised winner. The scenery does not reveal which bill will pass validation. This game is not a way to earn real money.

Daily access is not tied to page views

The free daily allowance uses server-held player state and a UTC boundary. Page visits alone do not award a completed day. Cookie and device-related signals help keep access consistent; switching tabs or refreshing is not intended to generate more daily entitlements.

Turnstile and server-side checks help reduce automated and repeated abuse. Shared networks, blocked storage and connectivity issues can affect eligibility checks. If access seems wrong, contact support rather than repeatedly creating new identities.

When a referral counts

A shared link carries a code identifying the inviter. An eligible new player must start and complete their first valid free search with that referral accepted by the server. Sharing, clicking or merely opening the link grants no choices. An existing player replaying a link does not become a new referral.

The first milestone is two qualifying new players, for five bonus choices. The second is five qualifying new players in total, for fifteen additional choices. Each milestone can be claimed only once. The bonus choices are played in a separate search, not silently added to an already running session.

The server also checks for self-referrals and repeated device use. These controls reduce abuse; they do not establish a person’s real-world identity or guarantee that every browser belongs to a different human.

What a successful find earns

A verified find can place your chosen nickname in the Tree Millionaire position until another verified player finds the hidden bill. It is a fictional achievement, with no payment, withdrawal or transferable asset.
