First place will get 60% of the total sum, second gets 20% and third gets 10%.

60 + 20 + 10 = 100? neutral

Re: Gamma-loto :: Check winners!!

Ops, fixed that!

And as for whether its a scam or not, I am up for suggestions on how to make it more secure. I am making a timestamped video of the roll using http://www.random.org/ random number generator that is way better random number generator then others of its kind.

"RANDOM.ORG offers true random numbers to anyone on the Internet. The randomness comes from atmospheric noise, which for many purposes is better than the pseudo-random number algorithms typically used in computer programs. People use RANDOM.ORG for holding drawings, lotteries and sweepstakes, to drive games and gambling sites, for scientific applications and for art and music. The service has existed since 1998 and was built and is being operated by Mads Haahr of the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College, Dublin in Ireland."

Re: Gamma-loto :: Check winners!!

- Just wanted to point out that you can not buy any more tickets starting from today, 19:30 ST(30 minutes before annoucing the winners).

- First rolled number is the THIRD PLACE, second is SECOND PLACE and third number is THE WINNER.

Re: Gamma-loto :: Check winners!!

In for One

Re: Gamma-loto :: Check winners!!

Asked the guys in GC to tell random numbers. Will use the first 10 to calculate third place:

[20:00:03] <Shaedys> 742
[20:00:04] <Mork Hunt> 956
[20:00:14] <Shaedys> 742
[20:00:15] <Shaedys> 742
[20:00:15] <Shaedys> 742
[20:00:16] <Shaedys> 742
[20:00:16] <Shaedys> 742
[20:00:16] <Shaedys> 742
[20:00:26] <Gooma> 69
[20:00:26] <Burial> 525

Total: 6744
Calculation: 6744 modulo 20 = 4

Third place is: Number 4 (Celebro)

Re: Gamma-loto :: Check winners!!

Same deal, now for the third place:

[20:12:36] <Mork Hunt> 569
[20:12:37] <NashKrul> 457
[20:12:43] <NashKrul> 887
[20:12:44] <Zortarg Calltar> 647
[20:12:47] <NashKrul> 664
[20:12:49] <Karism> 163
[20:12:51] <Flying Spaghetti Monster> 382
[20:12:54] <Thador Caeli> 256
[20:12:55] <NashKrul> 150
[20:12:56] <Jasdemi> 42

Total: 4217
Calculation: 4217 modulo 20 = 17

Second place is: Number 17 (Zortarg Calltar)

Re: Gamma-loto :: Check winners!!

Now for the first place:

[20:16:23] <NashKrul> 954
[20:16:27] <Mork Hunt> 56
[20:16:28] <NashKrul> 15
[20:16:29] <Karism> 421
[20:16:29] <Shadeeya> 666
[20:16:31] <Jasdemi> 12
[20:16:31] <NashKrul> 547
[20:16:35] <NashKrul> 669
[20:16:39] <Kane Shafter> 696
[20:16:39] <NashKrul> 127

Total: 4163
Calculation: 4163 modulo 20 = 3

First place is number 3 AKA Shaedys!! Congratulation!!!

Re: Gamma-loto :: Check winners!!

I will write brifly on how the numbers were pulled and how you can double-check it all. If you don't happen to have the right GC log, then you can download one from here.

I used a modulo operation to get the remainder of the first 10 numbers random people called in the General Chat after I asked them to. You can read more about modulo here.

In computing, the modulo operation finds the remainder of division of one number by another. Given two positive numbers, a (the dividend) and n (the divisor), a modulo n (abbreviated as a mod n) can be thought of as the remainder, on division of a by n. For instance, the expression "5 mod 4" would evaluate to 1 because 5 divided by 4 leaves a remainder of 1, while "9 mod 3" would evaluate to 0 because the division of 9 by 3 leaves a remainder of 0; there is nothing to subtract from 9 after multiplying 3 times 3.


I am human and as so, I could've made a simple human error somewhere. I did double and triple check everything but if you want to go over it all by yourself, then go ahead.

- To calculate modulo fast, use regular google search and type: sum-of-the-ten-numbers % 20(thats the number of participants-1, notice that the first place is 0 because of the possible 0 result) ex. 4244 % 20 = 4


I have not transfered any money over to the winners because I hope someone would go over the numbers. The numbers are all there in the log I attached and they will not change.

Re: Gamma-loto :: Check winners!!

If no-one has any objections about the calculations, then I will transfer the money over tomorrow morning. smile

Re: Gamma-loto :: Check winners!!

NIC transfered to the winners. Thanks for all the participants.
