what one lot out of eight takes
No lot has been drawn out yet. Eight 0.01 lots in, one drawn out, it takes the pot.
Round 1 opens the minute $LOTOUT is live: 0 of 8 lots in. Eight lots in, and one of them takes 0.08.
Each lot is 0.01 ETH. The eighth lot fixes a block that does not exist yet; its hash draws one lot out and that lot takes the whole pot.
Nothing drawn out yet. The first full round lands here with its block and hash, so anyone can redo the draw.
Eight lots × 0.01 = 0.08 ETH in the pot. Block #81,204,117 is mined; its hash lands on lot 5. Lot 5 takes all 0.08: its own 0.01 back plus the other seven's 0.07. The other seven take nothing. No cut.
A round that closes on the clock with 3 lots draws the same way for 0.03. A lone lot gets its 0.01 back.
