I’m Jayotis, and I’m working on an open-source project called Golden Tickets, which I’m hoping to submit to F-Droid soon. I had a previous RFP closed due to a repository access issue, which I believe is now resolved and building.
Golden Tickets is an experimental tool for exploring lottery numbers in a gamified way. It’s not a gambling app – there are no real-world prizes, no way to buy tickets, and no real money involved.
Here’s the core concept:
The app retrieves pre-generated lottery combinations from a server (it doesn’t generate them on the device).
These combinations are based on our ongoing analysis of historical lottery data from WCLC.
Users try to find the “Golden Ticket” – the combination that most closely matches the actual winning numbers after each draw.
A scoring system and (future) leaderboards add a game element.
We use a transparency system: pre-draw encrypted archives and post-draw password releases.
I’d be very grateful for any feedback from the community, particularly on:
Confirmation that the repository is now publicly accessible.
Any general thoughts on the project’s suitability for F-Droid.
Any suggestions for improving the app or its presentation before I submit a new RFP.
I’m committed to making Golden Tickets a transparent, ethical, and engaging tool for exploring lottery numbers. Thanks in advance for your time and expertise!
Honestly, I built this app because I’m fascinated by random events and the possibility of finding patterns and improving the odds. It’s a scientific challenge that I couldn’t resist! And it turns out, a computer can do a pretty good job. But I believe we can push it even further.
That’s where this community comes in. I’m hoping to attract talented developers who can help build this app into the ultimate tool for exploring and analyzing random events.
I’m more of a data and algorithms person, so I’m relying on the community to bring their expertise to the front-end and user experience. Let’s work together to make Golden Ticket the best it can be!
I have found some time to work on the back end and reduced the total combination pool down to around 3 million and capture the winning combination about 76% of the time in 50 tests, next draw combinations are here Lotto649_2025-03-01 - Google Drive
the new back testing data is in the parent Golden-Ticket(history) - Google Drive
Is this fun now?
Greetings and Salutations Jayotis, this sounds compelling. I do have one thing in which i am internally compelled to indicate. That being the fact that random is not a reality. There are no coincidences in this realm. I hope that this news is not a disappointment to you, but rather an inspiration for the qinder of what is next for yourself moving forward.
Also, I am quite new to all this so, may I inquire as to some direction about this repository? I.e. are you indicating without doing so, that running this package could provide winning lottery picks? If you’re not comfortable answering that question, I get it. Im just curious. But hey, what the heck, i reckon i could try it out.
Thanks for the comment! The answer to your question is, you have to pick the winning combination yourself but the app is intended to help you.
It does this by
giving you access to a pool of combinations of your choosing(mine are the best).
keeping track of your selections
maintains a running score of your results
costs nothing
allows you to use your intuition to find winning combinations(coming soon)
This is complete proto-ware but playable so enjoy!
