Reproducible lottery results
You work as a programmer for an online lottery. By law, the winners have to be selected randomly and the selection has to be transparent.
In your workspace you have a list of lottery tickets, ls_tickets. There are 51 elements in ls_tickets, one for each US state. Each element of this list contains lottery ticket numbers. In your workspace, you have a function, lottery(), that randomly selects the winning ticket for each state. You are testing the lottery() function by applying it to ls_tickets in parallel using future_map(). The problem is that the winners are different every time you run this code. The furrr package has been loaded for you.
