Lottery has officially ended! I will be taking a break for march break while developing some new features, but of course if enough people are interested I could get it up for this week.
Here you can verify this message
This week's random number has been chosen to be 67 and the round started on 2/25/2015 with the lotto address of 1Lot1mSfkciv6akWNyoAx5MfHahjHn22ai. Random string is cow64
Should be hashed to 6c6fdd4b0ea375c6d1da76cb6372301d5f9587b9d5e76b6a718c2f3260f9a8db with sha256
Which has been quoted multiple times and has been on the website for the entire week.
This means this person with the txid: https://blockchain.info/tx/577ca9916316494aba02f0f3faa7299f3b321d8db7be5183e828e382618e8af3
Has won with the random number of 74.9491 (closest to 67) and address of 1N5okqtBZ9PUNipwJunqKUkcdS1GZpsrWx
So the winnings of 0.14 * 0.95 = 0.133 btc are sent to the winning address 1N5okqtBZ9PUNipwJunqKUkcdS1GZpsrWx
Other 5% has been donated to the escrow.
Keep in mind that I hashed the string before I switched the system to escrow, so the old address 1Lot1mSfkciv6akWNyoAx5MfHahjHn22ai has been in the hash, but the most important thing is that you can verify the number 67 hasn't changed since the beginning of the week.

Bump, 3-4 days left until the lottery ends. Bet 0.01 and have a chance of winning 0.15 btc!

Its actually called provably fair and if you took the time to read the url that you just quoted then maybe you could figure it out as I took the time to outline this.
One more ticket has been purchased, for a total of a 0.14 prize pool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111ONEONEONE

Please read the provably fair part of the site (bitlotto.co/fair.php).
The random number is randomly chosen from random.org, and it is not provably fair, because it does not matter, we choose it at the beginning and there is no way to "choose" your lotto number.
Exactly 1 week from the round start (25th)

I am just putting out the hashes here (they have been on the site for the entire round)
SHA256 of the random number: 6c6fdd4b0ea375c6d1da76cb6372301d5f9587b9d5e76b6a718c2f3260f9a8db
SHA256 of the secret key: 2aa203b0bc2154c2390e6927e49ba72628f81b89c9e83eeaee3fb3ac72a39f87
Read my provably fair page and see how these are verifiable.

Address has been updated on the site, and the balance and tickets have been moved over in this tx https://blockchain.info/tx/5ae58de953b97342232b78ddce9dfb11176b6cb462c414de454967a43041ea32
Keep in mind that the original week's address will be in the hash released at the end of the week because we cannot change it.

One ticket costs 0.01 btc and currently you have to send each ticket separately. You want this to get a different random number per ticket and be listed on the page multiple times. If you would like to increase prize pool without buying more tickets just send more than 0.01 btc and it will automatically add to the prize pool.

Good luck Mr. funtotry, our system is automated so it will be inserted roughly a minute after your TX is confirmed. Prize pool is now 0.11 btc

I have made the deposit of 0.1 btc as a round bonus. https://blockchain.info/tx/adf8a1bda5fa4e1d46fdc0591be17aa8c8042b4d630d76716c30cd7a7ffa459b
If a trusted escrow agrees to set up an address (I will not have the private key) we will move all tickets over and continue from his address. This weeks address is currently in play and the lotto has started 1 day early (official start date is 2/25/2015)
Good luck!
Remember, the current pool is 0.1 btc so you could turn your 0.01 and multiply it by 10x if you win!

It is a lottery so the pool will build as people send more.
As a bonus for the first round the pool is starting with 0.1 btc as the prize. I will be loading 0.1 btc in a couple minutes
