winning ticket numbers

    Is the random ticket number generator for winning tickets set for 0-99 or what???  Every prize showing as given away in the last 6 days has a ticket number below 100...

     

    Highly unlikely without there being a coding error given the average prize had 2000 tickets - so a 1/20 chance the first time, 1/400 the second time (that it would happen twice in a row) and how we're in the tens or hundreds of thousands to 1 against that occuring.

    I hope that isn't true.

    Perhaps someone from Raffstar can clarify.  Maybe what I was reading as the ticket number was the number of tickets that person had in the 'pool' for that prize?

     

    Upon looking at the winner list again, that appears to be a possibility.

    You are absolutely right.  The confusion is due to the design what it is actually saying is how many tickets that winner received.  if you click on the prize and look at the leader board it will show you the winning ticket number.  We are going to address this issue because it had been brought to our attention a couple of times that it is confusing.  Hope this explains it!  Let me know if there are any other questions.

    Apologies for the confusion; we've updated the wording on the Winners page. Take a look at let us know if it makes more sense now!
