Golden Ticket is a free and open source lottery simulation game built for experimentation, probability practice, and play. It lets you explore draw-based number strategy without buying tickets or spending money.

Key Features:
• Simulate draw participation without real-money gambling
• Explore number selection strategies through game-style systems
• Progress through the prospector, smelter, forge, vault, anvil, and results flow
• Track outcomes and scorecards across supported draws
• Privacy-focused F-Droid build with no Firebase, analytics, or Google Play services
• 100% FOSS gameplay build, with Chen-specific premium access handled outside Play billing

How It Works:

Choose a supported draw game
Prospect for number combinations as ore
Refine them through the goldsmith workflow
Lock your picks before the draw cutoff
Return after results are posted to reveal outcomes and review statistics

Educational and Risk-Free:
Golden Ticket is designed for testing ideas, learning about odds, and comparing approaches. It does not purchase real tickets, submit entries to any lottery, or award real-world prizes.

Privacy First:
This F-Droid release removes Firebase, Google Play services, and Play billing. Core gameplay remains available without those platform dependencies.
