Provably fair

Before a pot takes a single entry, we generate a random seed and publish its SHA-256 fingerprint. The seed stays sealed while the pot runs. When the clock hits zero the winner is picked with maths, not a coin flip:

index = first 8 hex chars of sha256(seed + ":" + entryCount), as a number, mod entryCount

Entries are ordered oldest first, and the entry at that index wins. Afterwards we reveal the seed and the full entry list, so you can hash the seed yourself, confirm it matches the fingerprint we published beforehand, and recompute the exact same winner. Your browser does that check automatically below.
