I have an idea for a lotto type event. Players bet a certain amount of don points for one "ticket". When the sales finish everyone has certain #'s based on the ticket bought.
ie:tickets cost 5dp
Player 1 bets 50 dp=tickets1-10
Player 2:500dp=tickets11-110
Player 3:100dp=tickets111-130
Player1: makes a second purchase of 50dp for 10 more tickets #'d131-140
So on an so forth. When betting is over I will use a random number generator to determine the winner based on ticket number. Prizes is base on the # of tickets sold

Any suggestions from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

Random number generators can be unfairly bias from person to person. Don't you read my threads?!? I post them for reasons like this!!!

Which thread is it. I've honestly never seen it. I will read it. It could also be a generator that is voted on

Well don't worry about the thread. Quite honestly I don't even read my threads and can't find the one I'm referring to.
But the points are,
-No random number generator's algorithms are exactly fair, or accurate.
-randomness, itself, is still unproven.
-Theres a minuscule chance of ever verifying if the raffle winners are truly the winners, or are just picked at random. I'm not paying for a chance I can never truly be privy to seeing the outcome of.
