How a draw with proof works

Draw with proof makes a giveaway checkable. It works in three steps.

1. Commit

Before the spin, we lock the list and publish its fingerprint (SHA-256) plus a sealed fingerprint of a secret seed.

2. Spin

The winner is calculated from the secret seed and the list. The wheel then lands on that entry.

3. Reveal

After the spin we publish the seed. Anyone can recompute the fingerprints and the winner and get the same result.

Questions

Can the host change the result?

Not without it showing: changing the list or the seed after the commit changes the fingerprints anyone can check.

Do I need to trust this site?

No. The check runs in your own browser, and the method is described here so it can be reproduced independently.

In Chrome on iPhone, Share is in the address bar. The icon appears next to your other apps.

  • Chrome and Edge: the install icon is at the right of the address bar, or in the menu under Install.
  • Safari on Mac: File → Add to Dock.
  • Firefox cannot install sites as apps: open this page in Chrome or Edge.

The app opens in its own window and the wheel spins without internet.
