How We Ensure Fair Ticket Selection on our "Auto Draws"
Hello! At That Prize Guy, we want to make sure that selecting winners for our contests or giveaways is completely fair and random. That's where the Mersenne Twister Random Number Generator comes in. It's like a special tool that helps us pick random numbers fairly.
Here's how it works: Imagine each ticket or entry in our contest has a number. To select a winner, we need a way to pick one of those numbers randomly, so everyone has an equal chance of winning.
To do this, we use the current time as a kind of starting point for randomness. We take the time down to the millisecond, which is a super tiny unit of time. This gives us a unique starting point (“The Seed”) every time we run the selection process.
Then, we feed this millisecond time into the Mersenne Twister Random Number Generator, which uses clever maths to churn out random numbers. These random numbers are what we use to pick our winners. Because the starting point is always changing (thanks to the millisecond time), the sequence of random numbers we get is different each time.
So, when you participate in our contest, rest assured that the winners are picked completely at random, giving everyone a fair chance to win something exciting! We're committed to transparency and fairness in everything we do, and the Mersenne Twister helps us achieve that.
All non-auto draws will be drawn using the standard google number generator method on facebook live that you have known and loved for years.
