Lets say I have 375 users that enter a giveaway and I need to pick a winner at random that everyone can verify is true.
Here is my theory on how to do this and I need to know if there are any flaws in it:
Texas Cash Five gets pulled everyday so the day after the giveaway ends the lotto will be drawn.
I can put everyone into a X amout of groups with X amount of users. I will put users in the groups randomly and post them prior to the lotto.
The numbers today were 27 37 9 34 15.
So lets say we have 15 user groups then the first pull between 1 and 15 picks the user group. Now we have which user group we are going to use. In this case group 9 wins.
Now lets say in each user group we have 25 users. Excluding the ball we used to select the user group the next ball between 1-26 selects the user. The 9th user is now the 10th user because 9 can't be drawn again. So we move everyone past 8 up; 16 is now 17, 17 is now 18, so forth.
The next ball between 1-26 is 15 so the winner is Group 9 Member 15.
