PIZZA ROLL PLEASE
I thought this might have been addressed before the raffle ended but either I missed it or it must have not been seen
I’m back home now so I’m processing the entry data now 
Results will be posted soon 
Imagine each prize has a bucket and each of your tickets has your name printed on it. All tickets for each prize are mixed up and one (1) ticket is drawn at random, per prize bucket. If you submitted six (6) tickets and someone else submitted two (2), it’s three (3) times more likely that one of your tickets will be drawn.
So yes, your odds of winning a particular prize increase per ticket you put in each prize bucket.

Hi! I’m not grokking how generating 8 numbers with the value 1 thru 16 maps to drawing the winning tickets. One possible implementation would put all tickets entered for a game into a game’s bucket, noting an entrant’s name on each ticket, and generating a random number between 1 and the number of tickets in each game’s bucket to draw the winning ticket. For this raffle there’d be 7 buckets. What am I missing?
Just a moment while we deal with a technicality. Raffle 3 winners will be announced momentarily. Thanks for your patience.
We’ll be right back

The raffle program is open source and linked in the results of each raffle. The technical details are discussed in Raffle 1, if you’re interested. Let me know if you have any questions

Thank you! For everyone else, the answer’s in this post. The numbers generated by discobot are used to provide a 32-bit seed to the random number generator used by the raffle implementation.

Agreed!
I didn’t even realise there was a trap so that’s what I get I guess.

@Vindace one advantage of running a deterministic raffle is that you can see what the results would’ve been if your entry was qualified. Visit the results and “uncomment” your entry on line 41 by removing the leading //. Then click Run at the top. The winners are different of course (because the data is different), but alas you would not have won 
But hopefully this at least gives you a little added peace that your qualification wouldn’t have changed the outcome for you specifically 
fwiw, the same is true for @coralinecastell
