Please don't be rude!

The rules:
You try the demo, see ticket details, withdraw demo amount back. - No risk for you!
For this minimal trust I give you free ticket and a chance to win 0.15 BTC.

There is new game now:
Progressive BTC raffle. Tickets from 0.001 BTC
https://crackthewallet.org/btc/raffle/

There are 5 rounds of 150 BTC blocks scheduled now. 150 blocks translate to 25 hours (10 minutes per BTC block). Prize pools are set to 0.05 BTC.
The first round will begin after BTC block 298750 is generated.
All BTC coins from sold tickets are added to round's prize pool. More tickets - higher prizes.
Guaranteed three winners in every round. Payouts are 50%, 20% and 10% of prize pool. What remains goes to next round.
If you like the game, please share.

Good luck! 

Quote from rules page:

This BTC raffle (like everything on this site) is:

• Anonymous and secure: no registration, personal unique secret URL, HTTPS protocol.
• Provably fair: no server secrets, just public blockchain hashes, easy to validate.
• Unpredictably random: will use future BTC block's data, can't be predicted.
• Fully automated: no humans involved, instant payouts.

The Rules:

• Prize pool is seeded with initial amount selected by organizers. All coins from sold tickets go to prize pool progressively increasing it.
• Every raffle round has a defined range of BTC blocks. Round is in progress while these blocks are being generated.
• Your ticket buys you nonces. Single nonce costs 0.001 BTC. This is the minimal ticket price. Any number of nonces can be bought with single ticket. You can buy multiple tickets.
• Drawing will occur after the last block is generated. The lowest hash for each ticket is calculated using nonces:
  sha256(txid + nonce + merkleroot), where:
  
  • txid - your ticket's transaction id,
  • nonce - takes integer values from 1 to number of nonces bought with the ticket,
  • merkleroot - Merkle root hash of the round's last block.
• Three lowest hashes win 50%, 20% and 10% of prize pool. Remaining prize pool amount goes to next round.

The Notes:

• Use your unique URL to access the raffle. Keep it secret and do not share.
• No sending wallet limitations, buy ticket: from personal or shared wallet, from yours or friend's wallet, by direct withdrawal from exchange or other services.
• Withdraw winnings to any address you specify. Automated, no fees, no commissions.

So the maximum win I can get is half of the prize pool and half of all the entries?

You can have three winning tickets - 80% of prize pool (initial + all entries).

I believe the big problem here is trust.

[Nobitcoin]

So if I buy a ticket and no one else but me has bought one I can still lose?

Yes, I hope with time and positive reviews from the first brave players it will start to build up.
There are some positive feedbacks in litecointalk thread (https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=15126.0)
The most important positive feedback was from the winner of the 1st LTC contest (he risked 100 and won 177.58 LTC):
(http://www.reddit.com/r/litecoin/comments/1zs6mo/cracked_the_wallet/)

So if I buy a ticket and no one else but me has bought one I can still lose?

Three tickets with lowest hashes win. There is no limit on number of sold tickets.
One ticket - player will win the 1st place. Three tickets - all will be winners. Four tickets - 3 winners and 1 looser, and so on…

Good luck!

The second round is over.
Single ticket was sold… and was the winner of prize pool's 50%.

The next round is in progress now.

[pavlin99th]

The 3rd BTC round is over. Five tickets were sold.
Drawing results are available in archive page.

Hashes can be easily checked:
the last block was 299200 and its Merkle root hash is 31292999c57190bda61905af31a2835fce30d4a4fe8480638c9ed80cc0e8d60f
(https://blockchain.info/block/000000000000000057cf6671e1b4b9f6e8e77072aaf4ae89142079fd66e78af1)
The lowest hash can be computed with this python script:

Code:

from hashlib import sha256
txid = '__your_txid_here__'
nonces = 10
mr = '__merkleroot_here__'
best_hash = 'f' * 64
for i in range(1, nonces + 1):
    h = sha256((txid + str(i) + mr).encode()).hexdigest()
    if h < best_hash:
        best_hash, best_nonce = h, i
print(best_hash, best_nonce)

Script can be executed online at http://www.compileonline.com

The next round is in progress...

Good luck!
