The script picks pseudo-random Ethereum winner account from the list using native blockchain randomness source - the blockhash on the given block height.
It uses the “Mersenne Twister” deterministic 623-dimensionally equidistributed uniform pseudorandom number generator, one of the most extensively tested randomizers in existence.
Accounts collected through the form were checked to comply ethereum account format (42-digit hex string starting with '0x'). Duplicates were removed and items sorted alphabetically. See refine_eth_accounts.py script for details.
