Blockchain-based lottery systems: Enhancing fairness and security through smart contracts

Abstract

This study explores the integration of blockchain technology into lottery systems to enhance transparency, security, and fairness. Our proposed system uses smart contracts for ticket generation, distribution, and winner selection, leveraging blockchain&s;s decentralization to automate processes and ensure tamper-proof records. Blockchain&s;s immutability boosts participant trust by safeguarding lottery integrity. Technical insights show blockchain&s;s efficacy in addressing issues in traditional lotteries, highlighting its potential to create a more transparent and trustworthy lottery environment, reducing fraud and manipulation. This work advances blockchain applications, offering a new standard for secure and reliable lottery operations.
