Introducing Golden Tickets - Experimental Lottery Number Analysis Game (Seeking Feedback)

Apps
1

Hello F-Droid developers and community,

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.

My GitLab repository is here: Gold Smith / Golden-Ticket · GitLab

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!

Hey androidAndDanoneLove,

Thanks for the feedback! Optimization is definitely the goal. Check out the archives to see how it’s going: Golden-Ticket(history) - Google Drive

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!

Cheers,

Jayotis
