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.

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
That was the old method - it was too confusing and still could me manipulated with expensive super computers.
"ec" is just part of the hash. Each payment will have a hash 0-9 and a-f. All mixed up. The draw hash is compared to transaction hashes to find the winner. The hash can not be predicted or controlled since mega millions numbers are added after all the payments are in.
