Getting Hex for OP_RETURN
Enter the following message in the OP_RETURN of a valid on-chain Bitcoin transaction:
The on-chain transaction containing your OP_RETURN entry must be confirmed in a mined Bitcoin block BEFORE the prize draw closes and entries are collated and timestamped.
OP_RETURN Hex codes are only valid for one free entry. Each additional entry requires a separate on-chain transaction with a unique hex code provided by us.
Winnings will ONLY be paid out to the Bitcoin address that was used to create your unique hex code.

Provably Fair Results!
Everything about this prize draw was provably fair and you can verify this yourself using the information published below:
Timestamped Entries
All entries into the prize draw are collated, sorted and published BEFORE the Bitcoin block used to choose the winner has been mined. You can download the list of entries below and verify this using the associated timestamps.
You can also verify that every entry was a legitimate paid entry by checking our lightning node and validating LN invoice IDs.
The Winning Block
The prize draw winner was selected using the hash of a Bitcoin block that was mined AFTER the timestamped list of entries published. The details of that ‘winning block’ are listed below:
{{status.winnerBlock}}
{{ status.winningHash }}
status.winningHashBase10
Bitcoin Chooses the Winner:
To select a winner from our list of entrants we divide the winning block’s hash by the total number of entrants. The remainder of that calculation is the winning entry line in our list of entrants.
{{ status.entryCount }}
status.winningHashBase10
xxxxx with a remainder of: status.winnerMod
(0 based, the first entry is line 0)
{{ status.winnerMod }}
status.winningBTCaddress
Verified Payouts:
50% of the prize pot was paid to the winner as their prize.
50% of the prize pot was donated to The Free Speech Union.
You can verify both of those payments have been made using the TXIDs shown below:

Winners will be paid following three block confirmations after the ‘winning block’ to minimise the risk of the ‘winning block’ being orphaned due to a block re-org.
