   That is still 10% more than I have been than I have been up there and you have been in the the top ten more then 10% anyway.Yes it does it goes to 4th person sometimes,but I have never see it go to 30th place or 400 place where I am usaully at.  

   What ?!?! Wow, you are either confused or you got your math wrong. Who said anything about 10%, its .09%(~ one tenth of a percent; yes, the decimal point was already moved 2 places thus making it %) as stated in my previous post.   

   Whatever it does not matter whether it is 10% or .09% .I say you are closer to 10% then .09% which would mean you have not been in top ten once when you have been.Either way you still have my percentage beat which is 0.00000000000%

   I just did some quick math on some of the winners ticket quantities versus the 2 week time period on most of the food prizes and see where some have to be clicking 20 to 24 hours a day in order to get that many tickets in the allotted time run of the sweepstakes. How can that be unless we have a handful of users who have found some means of cheating. I think management needs to closely monitor that handful of players who are constantly at the top of every single leader board. I am able to legitimately get from 8 to 10 tickets per day on a fairly consistent basis and i am only able to be in the top ten players when the giveaway first begins. After the first day or so, I am usually more like 20 to 25, if that, while these same folks consistently remain in the first few spots. Something smells very fishy to me! Thank goodness for the random draw and the limited time to claim the prize, but these folks are still appearing to pervert the intended process.

   It could also be more then one person using the same account.

   @Cr0n3y your calculation is silly; only X percent get into the top ten....you get more than ten tickets so you cannot possibly get 100 percent so stating it like that biasing the statistic to look small. It's just like stating your income in the currency with the lowest exchange rate to make it sound bigger.  On a happier note, I hope I win the 260,875 Rupiah Amazon giftcard.  

   Perhaps we could compromise, a value limit on prizes earned in a time period.  That way if somebody won something they would still have reason to come back, but there is still a limit to what they could win.  

   I have never won anything here so don't take my suggestion the wrong way, we want everyone to participate as much as possible.

   You guys should read a few post down on the Blog. If raffstar bans everyone is is in the top ten on every raffle then only probably 2000 tickets would be at the end for a drawing. Which would mean less page impressions/ad clicks/ ect. So I think they have to watch everything very closely before they make there moves.
