# Ownership & security

Some considerations

Founder keeps contract ownership in order create new lotteries and set variations on new ones. 

* Owner has no access to any funds stored in the contract.
* The contract is immutable, except for lottery parameters that can be set only when no lottery is running. Once a lottery has started (= is open) params are not editable anymore until current lottery ends.
* In the worst case scenario in which owner loses his admin keys or his wallet gets compromised, funds in the Jackpot are not at risk.
* The lottery draw can be triggered by any user as soon as the minimum participants number is met and the [Hurry Up Time](/raffle/lotteries-wow.md#hurry-up-time) is exhausted. 
* In worst case scenario in which owner loses his admin keys or his wallet gets compromised, without owner control, no new lotteries can be opened, so not a big drama for users... we will deploy a new contract and update the front-end (website) pointing it to the new contract! 😜🤟

**💥NOTE**: there's a proposal for a governance tool that would let users create new lotteries and set variations / params. Check the relative section: [Idea for a governance tool](/raffle/idea-for-a-governance-tool.md).
