The weekly, lottery-style stock draw

Pick six stocks.
The market
draws the balls.

Wattball is a weekly draw played like a lottery, with the market as the machine. Fill a six-ball ticket — one pick from each chamber — then Friday’s best performer in every chamber comes up as a winning ball. Match more, score more.

The visionary behind Wattball

Andy Schroepfer

Founder & CEO

From Wall Street analyst to strategist. Now, that journey is a game you can play.

A former Goldman Sachs vice president, hedge fund portfolio manager, research entrepreneur and four-time author, Andy brings a career of market judgment to Wattball. His vision: turn the work of an analyst into minutes a week of reading events, taking stances and mapping their impact on stocks.

Badges & rankings

Every week moves you up the board.

Points are only half of it. Badges mark the weeks you actually did the work — a perfect six, a Megawatt call, five Daily Calls in a row — and your rank moves against the field the moment Friday’s balls land.

Six chambers · six chances

Harder call. Bigger points.

Each chamber is a market-cap band: the emerald Megawatt ball holds the $1T+ giants, Chamber 6 the $100B names. What sets the payout is how many companies sit inside a band — 33 names is a far harder call than 9, so Chamber 6 pays 33 points a match and Chamber 2 pays 9.

Match bonuses

One match is nice.
A run of them is the prize.

Every ball you match pays its own chamber points, one at a time. Match two or more in the same week and a bonus lands on top of those points — and it climbs steeply, so a handful of right calls is worth far more than the sum of its parts.

A single match pays chamber points only — the bonus table is what turns a good week into a big one.
