The longest position is any position that was opened at any time during the lottery duration.&#x20;

**ℹ️ Note:** The longest position can be a closed position. However, it cannot be liquidated for it to be counted as the longest position. Your ticket count might change depending if:

* Your position has been liquidated or;
* You have only one position during the lottery duration and that position has been liquidated. In that case, your tickets will be calculated under the [Liquidated Position formula](#liquidiated-position).
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Other Positions" %}

These positions are positions that have been opened during the lottery period and are not the longest position. These positions can be closed positions, but not liquidated positions.&#x20;

**ℹ️ Note:** Other positions can be closed positions. However, it cannot be liquidated for it to be counted in this formula. Your ticket count might change depending if:

* Your position has been liquidated or;
* You have only one position during the lottery duration and that position has been liquidated. In that case, your tickets will be calculated under the [Liquidated Position formula](#liquidiated-position).
