Congratulations for both guys, 0.5BTC seems like a fine reward

both winners will post their tx's I hope?
Out of curiosity, wetsuit why not try live lottery raffle? Like on youtube or twitch?
Such huge user-base would surely generate additional income on those platforms not to mention it could be first event of this type in business. It would of course mean another serious changes to the system and more expenses, can you imagine the first real bitcoin lotto machine (balls with numbers) that you can watch/play online... revolution.
Huge step, imo whoever makes it will take over small gambling world of bitcoin.

Couple of issues with that:

1). Creating a wheel for 200 million tickets and 500,000+ users/round would need a really huge wheel so that everything is visible.
2). Also, it is not automated so it will need to be done manually at a fixed time every week which might not be possible always.
3). Thirdly, pre-recorded videos can be made to appear as live.

I needed a system that is air-tight, automated and can be verified easily. This system fulfills all those criteria.

You are correct that there is potential in doing a live lottery, but it would need to be done as a lotto game like the UK national lottery.
