Did you read: http://bitlotto.com/details.html ?
It's all there and always has been. Otherwise I could change how I pick the winner! I did change/tweak the method a few times before BUT EVERY TIME it was done well in advance of the draw and announced so I couldn't cheat.

Sorry about that, don't know how I missed that page.

Jackpot size: 134.6 BTC (1,200 USD)
Secret Hash: 589db849967abfb35c85c9dd5db89ea0f814603acf9430b768474f5fc057962a
Block1: 127866 Block 2: 127867
Winning picks: ec88c8e216
Winner: 1FYLEjcJo9BiTEMet7GLpqbFJpTbnwhWWy
Winning hash: ec913c96b4315e4639539a5a58a3d8f9cb409b0cabe18597f3c3dd3c8788096

I'm not sure I'm clear on the formula yet.  What exactly does the secret hash mean?  I don't see a reference to it on the details page.
Did the winning picks come from the secret hash? or did you hash block1 & block2 together?
If the only relevant part of the winning picks are the digits, why does "ec" win? Those aren't digits.


cheers
