Lunar New Year · Lucky Red Envelope
Lucky Red Envelope
A red envelope for the whole group chat. Seal your new year wish inside and send one link: everyone who opens it types their name and draws their own lucky amount and fortune, then shows off what they got.
No account needed. The envelope is kept under a short link, signed so nobody can change the amount or the words. Anyone with the link can open it.
How the Lucky Red Envelope works
- Seal your wish. Pick an envelope, write a new year wish and, if you like, a top prize.
- Send one link to everyone. The family chat, your team, your friends.
- Everyone draws. Each person opens it, types their name and draws a lucky amount and a fortune for the year - then shares what they got.

One red envelope, everyone draws
At Lunar New Year, red envelopes - hongbao, lai see, ang pao - carry good wishes and lucky money from elders to children and from friends to friends. In group chats, digital red envelopes have become part of the fun: one person sends a packet and everyone races to open it and see what they got. The Lucky Red Envelope brings that game to any chat, for free and just for fun.
How it works
- Seal your wish. Pick an envelope - Crimson, Imperial or Blossom - write a wish for the new year and, if you like, a top prize in your currency.
- Send one link. Drop it in the family chat, the office chat or your friends' group.
- Everyone draws their luck. Each person opens the envelope, types their name and draws a lucky amount and a fortune for the year. Then they share what they got.
Lucky numbers only
The amounts follow the numbers people love to give: 8 for prosperity, 6 for smooth going, 9 for a long life, and pairs because good things come in pairs. You will never draw a 4. Bigger amounts are rarer, so drawing an 888 is a real moment.
Fair and fixed
The same name always draws the same luck from the same envelope, so nobody can keep reopening it to get a better result. No money moves: the amounts are for fun, and the page says so.
When is Lunar New Year?
Lunar New Year 2027, the Year of the Goat, begins on 6 February 2027. It is celebrated across China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Korea and Chinese communities around the world.

What amounts can people draw?
