The actual mechanics of the draw is as follows:
On command everyone present in the channel types a number into the channel (at the excact same time).
The number each participant enters, is within a range given shortly before.
The first few (number given shortly before) of the numbers are then first added together.
Then we do a "sum modulus <number of registered characters>, and we have a winning number

TLDR The participants in the channel generate a random winning number
