Hello, The lottery results are in and these are the results: # The seven numbers from Croatian Lottery Loto 7 on July 6th, 2024 12 13 15 18 24 27 32 # The seven numbers from Euro-Millions on July 5th, 2024 11 13 29 31 47 1 11 # Six numbers from the US Mega Millions on July 5th, 2024 6 15 32 54 67 4 # The nine numbers from the Japanese Lotto 7 on July 5th, 2024 5 7 22 29 30 32 36 3 33 Unfortunately, there was an operator error. In the 2024.seeds, I had a leading new line, which created a wrong string ./12.13.15.18.24.27.32./1.11.11.13.29.31.47./4.6.15.32.54.67./3.5.7.22.29.30.32.33.36./ (see the leading ./) The correct string is 12.13.15.18.24.27.32./1.11.11.13.29.31.47./4.6.15.32.54.67./3.5.7.22.29.30.32.33.36./ I've corrected the 2024.seeds file. Rich Salz, who is the implementor and maintainer of the code, will be informed about this issue. The original list sent out had 163 names, but the 2024.names was 1 name shorter, and that was corrected as well. With using corrected seeds, the RFC 3797 algorithm produces the following list: ./pick -s 2024.seeds -n 2024.names -c 15 -d Read 163 names Need approximately 69.5 bits of entropy Key string is 12.13.15.18.24.27.32./1.11.11.13.29.31.47./4.6.15.32.54.67./3.5.7.22.29.30.32.33.36./ index hex value of MD5 div selected 1 BC81F2624CA65F4E4D06FBBE391A2C07 163 -> 33 <- Nick Doty Center for Democracy & Technology 2 EA58F62A08DD75055BC556603E1746FA 162 -> 122 <- Hang Shi Huawei 3 904BECF7222521E31E1DA5E15CB52580 161 -> 43 <- Giuseppe Fioccola Huawei Technologies 4 DC9D1194C9E0FBF11DF5DAB23758505B 160 -> 127 <- A.J.
