Roster status

The roster is not locked yet. After sales close, every paid ticket is exported, hashed, and sealed as an audit record. Every paid ticket is matched to a numbered physical ticket stub. The physical stubs are the entries placed in the drawing container; the digital roster and its SHA-256 hash are a supplementary audit record, not a replacement for stubs.
