# Claiming a Payout

A payout selected for you waits in the claim contract until you collect it. Claiming takes one transaction, and the contract checks your proof against the published results before releasing funds.

### How you'll know

The moment a draw settles, winners see a win banner in the app with the amount and a claim button, plus a push notification if enabled. Every cycle's recipient list is also public on the Payouts page.

### Claiming

1. Open the win banner or your dashboard's claimable balance and press **Claim**.
2. Your wallet submits the claim with its proof, the contract verifies it and transfers the payout.
3. The payout arrives as the vault's asset, directly in your wallet.

**More details**

* **Cross-chain claims are supported** if your payout sits on a chain you'd rather not transact on, claims route to a supported destination chain via LayerZero. These take a few minutes longer, and the app tracks the status until the destination transaction lands.
* **No expiry of claims,** you can claim anytime directly from the contract.
* **Gas** is the only cost, paid on the chain you claim on.

{% hint style="info" %}
Receiving a payout resets your [luck multiplier](/docs/how-payouts-work/odds.md), and the +2% per week compounding begins again. Loyalty and streak are unaffected.
