This is an all-inclusive lottery where everyone has a fair chance at winning a prize. Winners will be selected by a fair dice roll provided by @discobot. Cheaters and fraudsters are not allowed and will be disqualified.

How to enter
-
From the ten (10) choices above, copy three (3) unique foods and paste them into your post. These choices in no way relate to the listed prizes.
-
Order your choices in a way you feel is the “most lucky,” or any order reasoning you prefer. Order matters but winning a lottery is pure luck.
The Draw
At the end of the lottery, three (3) unique food will be drawn and compared against your three (3) ordered choices to score your entry.
The scoring section below is mostly there so y’all can know how the entries are ranked after the drawing. But it’s not necessary to understand as this is all done with the lottery program. A lottery is all luck, and different from the raffle which lets you control your fate a bit more (by choosing where your tickets go). In this, you just pick 3 unique foods and order them – if you’re lucky to score, then you will choose a prize before other entrants that scored lower than you. However, if all the prizes are picked before it was your turn to choose, it means your score was not high enough to win a prize.
Scoring
- Everyone starts with a base score of
1 - An in-order match multiplies score by
