As for picking the winner I use a random name selector here at http://primaryschoolict.com/random-name-selector/.

Who's to say you're not going to "randomly" pick yourself to win?

there's really only one way to find out

How? Please don't be a smartass.

~13$ per ticket? I'd sooner go out and buy a real lottery ticket for less than half that. Also, if I was paying ~13$ per ticket, I sure as shit wouldn't want the tax man (YOU in this case) taking %20 for doing pretty much nothing.

The winnings will be greater for it.

I set up and run the lottery. What do you do? Spend 1BTC... Jeesh. It's not like I'm taking hundreds of BTC.
(NOTE: The "tax" is 5% now.)

No one. Who's to say that the West Virginia Lottery isn't rigged?

Can you tell me how I'm to prove that I didn't "Rig" the lotto?

Look at how this is run. It's not hard to make a lotto that is pretty much impossible to cheat.

I don't understand that to be honest. It doesn't mean that I can't run a lottery. Doesn't the network run on trust? lol. There are no guarentees. You send your money and you hope I pay up. If I don't, the bitcoin network knows to avoid the bananington in all future endeavors. All you would have lost is a measly 1BTC.

Take a chance and buy a ticket people. It may be gambling but I'll pay up.

(Note: If anyone wants to explain how the Bitlotto runs completely transparent. I would appreciate and maybe attempt to duplicate it.)
