8. Is the wheel of names rigged?

No, Random Wheel Spin is as random as it gets on a computer and uses advanced cryptographic Random Number Generation (RNG) technology. Every spin of this wheel is designed to be cryptographically random and provably fair, similar to the standards expected in financial institutions or blockchain-based games of chance. "How come I get lots of winners which are the same?" This is just chance. In every day life you can throw two dice and both dice can each land on six several times in a row. This is pure chance and the same applies to the wheel. Random Wheel Spin's Wheel of Names does not have any memory so previous outcomes don't affect future winners. In games of chance, using Math.random() isn't enough. Random Wheel Spin uses browser-grade cryptographic randomness via crypto.randomUUID(), along with SHA-256 for irreversible hashing (used by financial institutions and government agencies).
