Hi I won the lottery the first prize of a week 1.06600787 BTC and withdrew. Thank You Very Much.

Thanks for letting others know about your win. Most people don't for some reason and I really appreciate the fact that you guys did.

Also, it is possible that newly registered forum users might post that they have won because in the email that users get when they win, I ask them to post directly in this thread to let others know. Previously, I just used to send them the link to the forum home page which could be why people did not post. FreeBitco.in gets a lot more traffic then this forum (according to alexa atleast) so it is very much possible that many users are not members of the forum.

I am open to suggestions on how the lottery could be made fairer.

If I may ask... Where does the winner quoted in this post receive a hash? Could this hash be posted and verified once the draw was done to make it more transparent?

I have been playing the lotto since day 1 and the results was instant on the first couple of draws. I now have to refresh many times until the results are posted on the site. Has something changed from the first draws?

You have shown great vision to add this thread to the email send out to the winners. Hopefully more of them will respond here, and more people will trust and use the lottery. A weekly Jackpot 1st win of 10 BTC is

in our future.  

The hash posted by the user is the transaction id of the withdrawal he/she made of their winnings.

There is a delay of about 5 mins after the lottery ends before the results are announced due to the time it takes to pick the winners and also due to the website caching previous results. The caching is done to reduce load on the database so that people refreshing the page over and over does not slow it down for others.

Ah, I thought it was something like Bustabit, where they mix the hash with the clientSeed (decided by the provably fair seeding event) using hmac-sha256. They provide proof

of every game and explain it here ---> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=922898.0

It would be great if your lottery could provide a public hash that could be verified like that.   ... I also get what you saying with the refresh... it was just strange, and I

thought I would ask.  

Edit : Also wonder how these people will be doing it with their lottery --> http://digitalmoneytimes.com/crypto-news/lottoshares-combines-blockchain-technology-physical-lottery/

Thanks, I shall look into those. Not sure how bustabit works but the main issue with the freebitco.in lottery is that every week the number of tickets that are available varies greatly and so it is not possible to pre-determine the winning tickets before the draw and hashing the result.

From a quick read, the lotto shares website in the article only mentions investment into their physical lottery business without explaining how the lottery will be made provably fair,

You should try and google tricks, but in the end you gotta be really lucky on one bet.
I believe its like a 49.5% chance on doubling with 1% house edge.

I recently returned to your site and the gambling part of the site has changed drastically I much prefer the older method of playing so sadly I won't be using your site anymore.

[Kprawn]

The weird thing about the draws are the results. People who buy the least tickets win the most money. Only one or two people who spend a lot of money buying lottery tickets won

any of the Jackpot prizes. It should be the other way around... there should be lots of people who buy lots of tickets winning these prizes. I was under the impression that the more

tickets you buy, the higher your chance to win the bigger prizes or any of the prizes for that matter... but the results of almost all the draws reflect the opposite. hmmmm....  

Out of the 20 draws only 6 people won the 1st prize, bought more that 1000 tickets... The rest {14} draws was well below 1000 tickets... weird?

The trend continue as you go to the 2cnd and 3rd prizes... most of the lowest paying prizes are awarded to people who actually buy more tickets. Why would that be, if the site

encourage people to buy more tickets to increase their chance to win?

That's true of course but(i'm considering the latest round) when you have a total of 11m of tickets also if you have 90k(the person that won the 4th prize) tickets you still have only less than 1% of probability to win the first prize.

We get a lot of emails about this but people don't realize that because the tickets are picked randomly, even buying 100k tickets only increases the chance of winning and does in no way guarantee a prize. It's the same as any other lottery - even if you buy 100k tickets in the Euro millions for example, there is a very big chance that you would not win anything. 100k tickets is less than a 1% chance of winning.
