The winner of the first iPod is Nikola Postolov

The winner of the second iPod, choosen randomly is Vladimir Trajkovski

The random winner of the second iPod is choosen with the algorythm below
2 * 2 + 19 * 5 + 28 * 8 + 42 * 11 + 49 * 13 = 1422
1422 % 34 + 2 = 30
Position 30 in the predefined list is user vl4d1m1r4.

In order to be transparent with the choice, the following algorithm will be used:

• 5 numbers will be taken from the Euro Millions Lottery 12th of December draw
• You can see the numbers here
• Those 5 numbers will be sorted
• Then multiplied with the following factors: 2 for the smallest number, 5, 8, 11 and 13 for the biggest number, and then a total sum calculated
• Note: The factors: 2, 5, 8, 11, 13 are chosen so that there is a smallest deviation among all possibilities, i.e. all positions have the same (or very close) possibility for being a winner
• The total sum will be cut modulo 34 and then added 2 (to get a range of 2-35, these are the competitors eligible for the prize)
• Example
  Lottery numbers from the last week were 4, 8, 21, 35, 45
  4 * 2 + 8 * 5 + 21 * 8 + 35 * 11 + 45 * 13 = 1186
  1186 % 34 + 2 = 32 This means the person with number 32 (this is still an example) would receive the random iPod

The position numbers are:
