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
Iโm back home now so Iโm 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), itโs 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! Iโm 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 gameโs bucket, noting an entrantโs name on each ticket, and generating a random number between 1 and the number of tickets in each gameโs bucket to draw the winning ticket. For this raffle thereโd 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.
Weโll 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 youโre interested. Let me know if you have any questions
Thank you! For everyone else, the answerโs 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.

Thanks for the giveaway my human
no thank you, my zesty wood-and-string toy
XD thanks for adding zesty, I feel complete
Hehe I loved this:
Was so worth it though
Congratulations to all the winners!
Never lucky
Oh well, thanks for the chance @ohko and @DontBeSilly and congrats to the winners!
Agreed!
I didnโt even realise there was a trap so thatโs what I get I guess.
@Vindace one advantage of running a deterministic raffle is that you can see what the results wouldโve been if your entry was qualified. Visit the results and โuncommentโ 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 wouldnโt have changed the outcome for you specifically
fwiw, the same is true for @coralinecastell
