Fair drawing, but I do have a couple of suggestions to make it even more encouraging for more people to enter the lottery and great for those that are unsure about the drawing process based on previous posts on this thread -
It might be better not to assign numbers in chronological order. Lottery numbers should be assigned random numbers - therefore if buyer purchased two lottery numbers - he/she shouldn't get numbers # 1 and # 2 - but perhaps be assigned #13 and # 74 this can increase their chances of winning potentially speaking (seeing how the numbers were displayed wheelofnames based on screenshots)
Next time, perhaps the drawing can be done live and broadcasted on YouTube. Might be worth a bag of popcorn seeing how late everybody stayed up last night
Yes, believe the drawing process - 30% chance of winning is 30% chance of winning.
This was fun to watch and very suspenseful. Thank you @EMPIRETECANDY
Everybody won by saving big this time of year

What I am concerned about is that I don't see number's 26, 33, 34, and 43 in this screenshot. Did number 26, 33, 34, and 43 win or were they accidentally omitted? The numbers are displayed chronologically as you can see in the screenshot below - feel bad for number's 26, 33, 34, and 43 - feels like their numbers were not entered in the process Just sayin'

And 70% chance of not-winning! Even with great odds somebody's going away empty handed.30% chance of winning is 30% chance of winning.
It was fun! I like the idea of a live drawing.

oh, snap, I'm a big winner! (lol 2nd place) thanks, andy!!
Hopefully a $5 donation goes a long way
Also, in addition to live drawing, only one person should do the drawing next time, control-F is easy to use Reduces chance of human error and duplicate drawings

You're right that 33 and 43 won already, 2nd place prizes:What I am concerned about is that I don't see number's 26, 33, 34, and 43 in this screenshot.

And it looks like 26 and 34 "won" here: 2022 EmpireTech Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday Sales but maybe that was the glitchy 4th place?

I saw the value and the quantity of the prizes in this raffle, that was augmented with more merchandise after the initial prize list was published btw, and I paid for two tickets without a second thought. It was a no-brainer. I believed it might be better not to receive numbers in chronological order. I deliberately bought one at a time over 3 weeks so I would not have consecutive numbers. I did this, I took the initiative to influence my chances. It was VERY simple to do! Zero gas was involved, it did not cost any additional monies to buy 1 ticket at once. In the end, it took 5 extra minutes of my time. The amount of time it took you to suggest someone else increase your odds, you could've easily affected your odds yourself.
Reality check! Each of my non-consecutive tickets were, indeed, one number off from a winning number!
Is there research showing that having non-consecutive numbers, in a random drawing, increase your odds of not losing? I could see if it were a ticket-in-bucket raffle you might be better served to have your tickets more spread out in the bucket but I don't know if there is any merit to having numbers more spread apart in a wheel drawing.
When I think of lotteries I think of BINGO - where numbers just randomly come out of the machine, haha - that's how they should ideally be assigned, this is not the DMV But who's to say whats right and wrong. At least we can freely express ourselves here and everybody has their own approach. But I'm not sure if all the numbers have been accounted for though.

The entire 4th place winner numbers got glitched Andy said. I would think your 26 should be re-added during today's redrawing...?
Oh okay, there are so many pages to go through to see the results, I must have skimmed over it - thanks for clarifying that, not sure why it be considered a glitch though, seems like only the countries are mislabeled,

But everyone should keep in mind this is not some official state lottery. This is a nice little perk Andy provides. Let's not ruin it lol
Thank you for posting this again, my browser was acting glitchy
Yes, all answers are in this thread they just need to be read.
Exactly, but when technical glitches occur in the web browser it brings about a frustrating browsing experience Heck, nobody is ruining anything - there is always room for improvement for anything in life.
