Distributed, Parallel, and Cluster Computing 2019-12-03 v1

Abstract

We propose BlockLot, a blockchain based verifiable lottery. BlockLot provides transparent, immutable, fair, and verifiable lottery services enhanced by recent blockchain technologies such as append-only (replicated) distributed ledger and smart contract. In addition, BlockLot allows all participants to perform various verification to ensure that the system is actually working as expected. We implement BlockLot services which includes open, query, subscribe, and draw in smart contracts. We also develop webbased user interface for using the lottery services provided by BlockLot. The web interface allows the user to verify the lottery as well.
