Quoted from our new FAQ section:
"When a new Jackpot is set, our server generates a random Hash Key (e.g. "MB58bNJogX") and random value for the Jackpot (e.g. 777). This value is the amount of bits to be won.
These two, the Hash Key and the Jackpot value are encrypted into a SHA256 Hash Code in the following form: "MB58bNJogX777".
The generated Hash Code for every Jackpot (Grand, Major and Minor) is shown in the Jackpot Box.
When a Jackpot is won you will find the jackpot value along the Hash Key and the Hash Code in the Jackpots Tab.
You can verify the authenticity of the Jackpot here:

After each increase of jackpot, the server compares the generated Hash Code of the new value with the
Jackpot Hash Code. When these two are the same, we have a winner.
In this way we assure that no one knows the Jackpot value and that no one can modify it."
We believe this setup of the Jackpot has some great benefits:
1. The certainty that the Jackpot will be won.
If we have a certain value, there is only a matter of time until we will have a winner.
The odds system approach gives you a much lower chance to win and it is possible to not have a winner for a very long time, unless the odds are controlled.
2. The Jackpot value cannot be seen or modified by the owners and trustworthy is very important for us.
In the end we would like to thanks to all users who gave us a feedback. This is the only way to progress and maintain a high standard.
Just wanted to chime in. I like this method more than the 1/x chance one. And the reason is simple: someone will hit these jackpots. A 1/1m chance could not get hit for 50m rolls. Or 16000 billion rolls. Or it could get hit 50x in 500 rolls. Instead, this method ensures that the JP is going to be hit, and within a subjectively short period of time in comparison.
