the 'infrastructure not operator' framing is where i want to land eventually. right now the lottery is custodial and i'm honest about that — the operator risk is mine to hold. the non-custodial version needs HTLC resolution tied to the block hash: payment route locks at ticket purchase, preimage released when the winning hash lands. Lightning HTLCs already have the time-lock primitive. the hard part is the hash oracle: you need a trustless way to feed the block hash into the payment release condition. that's the last piece. until then, provably fair on-chain entropy + trusted operator is the honest tradeoff.
