This draw checks out.

The secret number was fixed before any spot sold, and it produces exactly the teams below.

1. Was the number fixed in advance?

We published this fingerprint when the break opened for buying, before anyone knew a single team.

b59cf0645566ded078ef4e0674bb1ac255480d1751c62d243d8dc5ddca9a8d39

Re-hashing the number we revealed gives:

b59cf0645566ded078ef4e0674bb1ac255480d1751c62d243d8dc5ddca9a8d39

They match, so the number could not have been chosen to suit the result.

2. Does the number produce these teams?
