Golden Ticket is a free and open-source lottery simulation game that lets you explore number selection strategies and test probability concepts in a fun, risk-free environment.

Key Features:
• Simulate lottery play without spending real money
• Test different number selection strategies
• Track results and statistics across multiple games
• Unique "goldsmith's journey" themed gameplay
• Privacy-focused with no tracking or analytics
• 100% FOSS with no proprietary dependencies

How It Works:
The game uses a unique theme where you act as a goldsmith:
1. Choose your lottery game (Powerball, Mega Millions, etc.)
2. Prospect for number combinations ("ore")
3. Select and refine your combinations in the "Crucible"
4. Lock in your selections before the deadline
5. View results after the official draw

Educational & Fun:
Golden Ticket is designed as a tool for exploration and experimentation. Learn about probability, test your intuition, and develop strategies - all without any financial risk.

No Gambling:
This is a simulation and educational tool only. No real lottery tickets are purchased, and no real money prizes are awarded.

Privacy First:
This F-Droid version has no Firebase tracking, no analytics, and no Google services. Your data stays on your device.

Optional Premium:
A premium membership (via Stripe) unlocks additional crucible slots and ore requests, but the core game is fully playable for free.
