Sorshúzás

Sorshúzás, a Hungarian term, translates to "drawing of lots" or "lottery" in English. It refers to a process used to select individuals or items randomly from a group. This method is often employed to ensure fairness and impartiality when a selection needs to be made without bias.

The practice of sorshúzás has a long history, appearing in various contexts across different cultures. Traditionally, it might involve drawing straws, using numbered balls, or other physical objects to determine an outcome. The fundamental principle is that each participant or item has an equal chance of being chosen.

In modern times, sorshúzás can be implemented through various means, including mechanical devices and digital algorithms. These methods aim to maintain the randomness and unpredictability inherent in the concept. Sorshúzás is commonly used in legal proceedings, such as jury selection, to assign tasks or roles, or in competitions and raffles where prizes are awarded randomly. It serves as a transparent and equitable way to make decisions when a subjective selection process would be inappropriate or unfair. The core idea remains the same: a predetermined chance for all involved.
