Earlier, MihoYo had announced that the event "Wish Upon a Lantern" features a prize pool of 1 billion Primogems, which were supposed to be split among all the eligible participants in the event. Players possessing all five types of Xiao Lanterns and with Adventure rank above 10 were considered eligible for the rewards.

The community's earlier speculations had everyone's expectations low as the active player count in Genshin Impact is believed to be over 39 million. Considering that, players were expecting anything around 25 Primogems per head from the Grand Prize Pool. However, the average reward of 108-288 Primogems exceeds the earlier expectations.
