How Nico’s generates picks

Pure Random uses the operating system’s cryptographically secure random source. Diversified Portfolio reduces overlap across several tickets. Anti-Crowd avoids common human selection patterns and may reduce prize-sharing risk, but it cannot make a number more likely to be drawn.
