Validating draw results

Random draw selection process in PHP:
function getWinnerFromBlockHash($blockHash, $entries) {

    // Calculate the SHA-256 hash of the binary hash
    $hashed = hash('sha256', $blockHash);
    
    // Split the hash into 8 character chunks and convert each chunk to decimal
    $decimalChunks = str_split($hashed, 8);
    $decimalValues = array_map('hexdec', $decimalChunks);

    // Sum up the decimal values of chunks
    $total = array_sum($decimalValues);

    // Scale the total sum to fit within the entries range
    $randomNumber = (($total % $entries) + 1);

    return $randomNumber;
}

// Replace with the actual Bitcoin block hash used
$blockHash = "000000000000000000010ebeb68b95ec8742cc11c50961202b30b2d12e4bf9a9"; 

// Replace with the number of Bitcoin Jumble raffle draw entires
$entries = "266";

echo $randomNumber = getWinnerFromBlockHash($blockHash, $entries);

The getWinnerFromBlockHash function relies on the very next newly confirmed block hash after the draw timer expires, extracted from the Bitcoin blockchain. Utilizing this specific block hash ensures fairness by eliminating any influence on the draw outcome, as it's beyond manipulation once the draw timer concludes. This method fortifies the integrity of the draw process, guaranteeing users a transparent and tamper-resistant draw experience.

This approach underscores our commitment to transparency and fairness, offering our users a reliable and secure means to verify the authenticity of our draw results, backed by the fundamental principles of blockchain technology.
