About in three sentences
CryptoDrawz is a weekly crypto lottery with $5 tickets, 90% of sales paid out to 14 winners and a draw anyone can recompute from a public random value and a published ticket list. It also publishes free, in-depth guides and tools about lottery odds, taxes, fairness and crypto. It is not available everywhere, is 18+ only, and prizes are currently paid by the operator rather than a smart contract.
