I am sorry, it should be "rounded off" and not "rounded up". I shall correct this on the website. So any number below 0.5 will be rounded down to 0.
OH... I changed my test script from ceil() to round()...
With ceil()
[Counts out of 20000 tries]
Jackpots: 1
10000 prize: 3
0000-9885: 19766
9886-9985: 202
9986-9993: 15
9994-9997: 13
9998-9999: 2
With round()
[Counts out of 20000 tries]
Jackpots: 4
10000 prize: 1
0000-9885: 19788
9886-9985: 191
9986-9993: 9
9994-9997: 8
9998-9999: 4
round 2,3,4,5...
[Counts out of 20000 tries]
Jackpots: 1
10000 prize: 0
0000-9885: 19765
9886-9985: 201
9986-9993: 23
9994-9997: 7
9998-9999: 5
round 6...
[Counts out of 20000 tries]
Jackpots: 4
10000 prize: 1
0000-9885: 19793
9886-9985: 184
9986-9993: 14
9994-9997: 4
9998-9999: 5
it's a lot harder to hit 10,000 using round instead of ceil but it's still possible! it took 120,000 rolls before it came up again, but it does!

?> it's still free bitcoins and dogecoins! so no complaints from me! lol
