Assume the following (fake example) ordered list of randomness sources:

  1. The People's Democracy of Betastani State Lottery six winning numbers (ignoring the seventh "extra" number) for 1 October 1998.
  2. Numbers of the winning horses at Hialeia for all races for the first day on or after x September 1998 on which at least two races are run.
  3. The Republic of Alphaland State Lottery daily number for 1 October 1998 treated as a single four digit integer.
  4. Closing price of Example Corporation stock on the Lunar Stock Exchange for the first business day after x September 1998 when it trades.

I enjoy the referenced RFC 2777's rationale for its sources of randomness:

Examples of good information to use are lottery winning numbers for specified runnings of specified lotteries. Particularly for government run lotteries, great care is usually taken to see that they produce random quantities. Even in the unlikely case one were to have been rigged, it would almost certainly be in connection with winning money in the lottery, not in connection with IETF use.
