How the draws are made
How the draws are made
The winning numbers come out of a Bitcoin block that did not exist yet when the queue closed. Neither you, nor the other players, nor us can know what it will be — and that is exactly why nobody can cheat.
Why Bitcoin?
The Bitcoin network publishes a new block roughly every ten minutes. Each block gets a unique, unpredictable code, and that code is recorded publicly forever. Nobody picks what it will be. So it is a draw that already happens out in the world, in front of everyone, and we merely read it.
The three steps
-
1
The queue fills up
The moment the last number is taken, the queue closes. From then on nobody else can join and nothing can change.
-
2
We note where the chain is
We record which block was the latest one published. That number is saved on the round, in plain sight.

We wait for the next block
The draw uses the block right after that one — the one that had not been created yet. When it shows up, its code decides the winners. Since it was born after the queue closed, predicting it was impossible.
The maths
The block code is a long string of letters and numbers. We take a piece of it, treat that piece as a number, divide it by how many slots the queue had, and look at the remainder. The remainder plus one is the drawn number. It is calculator arithmetic, and you can redo every bit of it.
An example
In a 10-slot queue, if the code chunk works out to 1,234,567 as a number, then 1,234,567 divided by 10 leaves remainder 7. Adding 1, the drawn number is 8.
More than one winner
Some queues pay 1st and 2nd place; others go up to 3rd. Each position reads a different piece of the same block code, so they all come from the same draw, with no choice of ours in between.
What if it lands on the same number?
If one position lands on a number that already won, we walk to the next number, wrapping from the last back to the first, until we find a free one. The rule always applies, to every round, and it is written here before any draw takes place.
How to check
Every settled round shows the block used, its full code and the maths for each position, with a direct link to the block on a public explorer — an independent site that is not ours. If the code there differs from what we show here, you caught us lying.
Not money, tickets
Nobody pays cash to enter here, and nobody wins cash. Every number costs 1 ticket, and tickets cannot be bought — you earn 1 every time you subscribe to or renew any Weepley app's advanced mode. Prizes are real items — gift cards, weepcoins, subscriptions — never cash, and they are delivered by hand by the team after the draw.
