TRANSPARENT WINNER SELECTION
PUBLICLY VERIFIABLE PRIZE DRAWINGS
EVERY COMPLETED QUEST = ONE DRAWING ENTRY
Canton Quests does not secretly choose prize winners.
You do not need to play all three days to win prizes. Every completed quest gives you one drawing entry ticket. Complete 1 quest = 1 entry. Complete 5 quests = 5 entries. Complete 10 quests = 10 entries! Winners are drawn Sunday evening using a fixed public RNG algorithm.
01 // FROZEN EVENT TOTALS
Total participating players, valid entries, completed quests, and finishers freeze when the event closes.
02 // PERMANENT CQ NUMBER
Fixed letter-to-number constant 311420151417215192019 derived from CANTON QUESTS.
03 // FINAL QUEST NUMBER
Event totals multiplied by the permanent number create a single deterministic Final Quest Number.
04 // FOLLOW THE TRAIL
A public sliding-window scan examines digit groups from left to right. The first valid ticket wins.
