Very cool!

Sorry for the basic question, but is it legal to do a lottery application like this with Crypto Coins because they aren't real money?

That's a great question, as are many others around taxing cryptocurrency transactions. A quick googling indicates that, in the US, gambling with anything of value constitutes gambling. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/31/5362

Not basic at all! I've never thought of that to start with. But in the end this is just an example and it does not even generate random numbers.
