Really random number?
Let's say we have a thousand lottery tickets and we need to choose one or N winners. Each participant has a name and a unique ticket number (in the form of a number from 1 to 1000). The lottery is played when reaching a thousand participants.
Is it realistic to select winners in such a way that neither the organizer nor the participant could fabricate/cheat the winner selection system?
That is, you need to generate one or a series of random numbers (numbers are winners), the generation method of which would be non-falsifiable and transparent for each of the participants.
I apologize in advance for the crooked wording, I will be glad for any answers

Easily.
Let you need a number in the range 0..63 (I took a simpler example).
Each of the participants brings their own generated "random" number in an envelope, after which the final random number is somehow calculated. For example:
участник число
A 7
B 13
C 42
D 49
итого 7⊕13⊕42⊕49=17
