What would be the best way to word the offer, so the visitor would not be at an unfair advantage in case the number to choose is one or ten?

Best Answer
You could say, "Pick a number from one to ten". This is usually understood to be inclusive - going from A to Z doesn't mean you start at B and end at Y, and working from Monday to Friday doesn't mean working only three days a week. Or, if you want to be extremely precise, say "Pick a number from one to ten, inclusive".
