A powerful and easy-to-use lottery block for V2EX community posts. Perfect for conducting fair and transparent giveaways, contests, or random selections from V2EX post replies.

## ✨ What This Block Does

The V2EX Lottery block automatically:
- 📥 **Fetches all replies** from any V2EX post using the post ID
- 🔍 **Removes duplicates** - each user can only win once, even if they replied multiple times
- 🚫 **Excludes specific users** - easily filter out specific usernames if needed
- 🎲 **Randomly selects winners** using a fair shuffling algorithm (shuffled 10 times for better randomness)
- 📋 **Returns a clean list** of winner usernames

3. **Use the block**: Add it to your workflow and configure the parameters
