Who chooses the winner?
This selection process is completely random. The winning ticket is selected by prizeWise's computers. It is currently prizeWise procedure to have an Intel random number generator, seeding by noise internal to the computers? conductors, pick the winners of all sweepstakes. The winning ticket is chosen and posted the moment the final ticket in entered. This process has been proven highly reliable and perfectly random. If there is ever a situation in which a winner must be chosen by hand (i.e. a site bug, an invalid first time winner, etc...), the winning ticket number will be chosen by the most reputable third party with whom are able to contract, such as our accounting firm or law firm. The sweepstakes information will be transferred to them in a double-blind arrangement (in which neither of us have both the ticket numbers and their owners, or the winner), and they will randomly pick the winning ticket by physically rolling a ten-sided dice, logging each digit as they go. In the future, we may make arrangement to choose the winners to certain high ticket items live via web cam on the site
