Case and extra spaces are ignored, so the same words always give the same numbers.

Your words never leave the browser: they are hashed locally with SHA-256 and the hash seeds the draw.

How it works, honestly. Your text is hashed with SHA-256 and the first 128 bits of that hash seed a small, well-studied generator (xoshiro128**). That makes the result deterministic — the same words always produce the same line — which is the fun part: it is your line, repeatable and memorable. It is not luck. A hash of your dog's name has precisely the same chance as any other line, and the same chance as a quick pick.

These numbers are not luckier. Every line in this game has identical odds 1 in 292,201,338 for the top prize, however it was chosen (see the derivation). What a generator changes is which other players hold your line, never your chance of winning. How this generator works.

Deterministic, not destiny

Your words are normalised (trimmed, lower-cased, inner spaces collapsed), hashed with SHA-256 in your browser, and the first 128 bits of the digest seed a small well-studied generator. The same words therefore always produce the same line, on any device, forever — which is what makes it feel like your line.

A hash is not a prediction. The mapping from words to numbers is fixed and arbitrary; the numbers it lands on have exactly the same chance as a quick pick, a birthday, or the numbers on the ticket next to yours.

Other ways to pick

Same odds, different method — and each one says plainly what it does and does not change.
