About snackbox

A small set of decision tools, built because the alternatives were either buried in adverts or wanted an account before they would spin a wheel.

What this is

Three single-purpose pages: a ladder lottery, a lottery ball machine and a spinning wheel. Each one does its job on a single screen with no setup. You can link straight to any of them and they work on a phone, which is where most of these arguments happen.

How it is built

Everything is a static page. The three tools are React applications with their three-dimensional scenes drawn using three.js and WebGL, compiled ahead of time and served as plain files from a content delivery network. There is no application server, which is why the pages load quickly and why there is nowhere for your entries to be stored even if somebody wanted them.

If your browser cannot use WebGL, each tool falls back to a flat version that still produces the same result. Reduced-motion settings are respected: turn animation down in your operating system and the draws finish quickly instead of playing the full show.

What it is not

Not gambling, and not a way to buy anything. The Lotto Draw page generates number sets for entertainment; it has no connection to any lottery operator, sells no tickets, and the numbers carry no better chance than any others. Nothing here should be used to decide anything that actually matters.
