I don't know whether this is actually a scam, but you need to put a considerable amount of work to make into making it not look like one. As it is, I see: disposable identity, Bitcoin, and a straightforward opportunity to steal without getting caught.

I could show the selection method of the winner and show that it is a random generator that grabs the winner. Either way, its still a gamble. If you don't trust the site (or me) then you won't trust any of the code I post to show the random selection of the user.
