How the winner is picked

  1. Entries close at 6 pm US Central time every day. The draw block is then announced: the block 45 past the chain tip at that moment, about half an hour away. Nobody can know its hash in advance, not even us.
  2. Once the draw block has six confirmations, its hash is read as one huge number. The entries are sorted alphabetically, and the winner is entry number hash mod entries, counting from zero.
  3. The prize is announced in advance. When the previous day's entries close, the hash of the newest block at that moment picks one of 20 slots: 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9 or 10 GRLC. That averages 5 GRLC, with a 10 about one day in twenty. On a day with no entries, nothing is paid.
  4. Everything used in a draw, including the full list of entries, is published in lotto.json, so anyone can check a result. This page redoes the math in your browser and shows a tick when it agrees.
