Here at PrizeVista, we utilize a reliable & efficient process when selecting the winners for our online competitions:
Automated Draw – For this type of draw, we utilise the Mersenne Twister Algorithm using the Python programming language to output a random number between a specific range.
This is the following code we use to automatically select the winners for each competition:
import random
def generate_winning_ticket_number(min_value, max_value):
# Ensure the min_value is less than the max_value
if min_value >= max_value:
raise ValueError("min_value must be less than max_value")
# Create a random number generator using the Mersenne Twister algorithm
rng = random.Random()
# Generate a random number in the specified range [min_value, max_value]
winning_number = rng.randint(min_value, max_value)
# Format the output string
result = f"Winning Ticket Number: {winning_number}"
return result
# Example usage
min_value = 1
max_value = 1000
print(generate_winning_ticket_number(min_value, max_value))
You can test it using this online tool.
