This is a really cool concept, just now have found out about this. But what are some ways we can take time to verify the winner our self for each drawing. I would look at the site my self and enter a drawing, but I'm currently away from my home computer right now.
Looking forward to playing though, you have made a lot of good games, and I'm sure this one won't disappoint either RHavar.

With our 4th draw coming near to a close, now is your chance to get in! There's not much early-bird bonuses left, but still can't beat the <= 0 house edge we offer!
Also, I'd like to encourage sponsors to create an ad: https://www.pevpot.com/sponsors
For next to nothing you can create an ad and get on the homepage. For next week I'll add analytics, so it's possible to get an idea how much exposure you're getting. But with a few bitcents, you can't go wrong =)

Whats the rush? It should take a while to verify the winner but if you win then you win, all you need to do is wait. It aint hurt to do a little waiting I assumed
Winner has been paid 6.87664041 BTC!

^ Yeah, that looks right. Which would make the sender of:

the winner.
I just need to get an external source of data for the transactions before I hand over the money (stupid insight.bitpay api is timing out right now)
Edit: Got Independent confirmation that this is the winning transaction =) Payment will be made shortly

I think the winning ticket is:
var winningTicket = bigInt("26d33835054efa572c76332ea937331d74d92eee64d58f1bc839409c29951954", 16).mod(673476389).toJSNumber();
// 134370671
var winningTicket = bigInt("26d33835054efa572c76332ea937331d74d92eee64d58f1bc839409c29951954", 16).mod(673476389).toJSNumber();
// 134370671
Sorry about the delay, the stretched block hash is: 26d33835054efa572c76332ea937331d74d92eee64d58f1bc839409c29951954 I'll have the winner results shortly =)

It takes an hour or two to calculate who won. You can do it yourself though, following the information on the pevpot site.

New draw is about to start, with only 3 sponsors so if you want to get an ad for cheap, now is the perfect time:

I've published a high-performance stretching library (it uses the modified openssl native code) to npm for the node.js users who'd like to verify games quickly:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/pevpot-stretch

Winner of draw 2 has been paid, and we've opened the ability to pre-register an address (for people who prefer to directly send money to the lotto): https://www.pevpot.com/register
Glad that I won a place in the sidebar advertisement slot. Anyway, so I guess the winner of second round is not yet announced right? When will he or she be made known to public?

I'll just give people a few more hours to verify the results, before I make it official

Gratz to the winner and thanks for the explanation.
Why do you take 5000000000 iterations? I cant verify it using the tool (my browser freezes). Why not just one iteration? Or 10? Or 5.000? Why so many?
Thank you!

Basically the only point of this step is to waste time.
The attack it's designed to prevent, is if a bitcoin miner bought lots of tickets in the lottery, when they solved a bitcoin block they could check to see if they won the lottery or not. If they didn't win the lottery, what they could do is throw away that block (and its 25+ btc of rewards) and never mine it. Which would effectively give them a 2nd chance at winning.
So what we do, is make the check take a long time. Like an hour-long. So the hypothetical miner, if they found a xxx006 block would have to spend an hour to check if they won the lottery. During this hour they have a MASSIVE risk of having their block orphaned (even a large pool, even if they were burning money privately mining on top of it) so the economics become pretty infeasible.
