How The 2019 Fundraiser will work.

Really interesting stats but stats confuse me So is that currently 3.8% per each £5 donation? What if someone donated £50 so far (adding up a few donations together from the same user), do they still only have a 3.8% chance of winning something to date or do they have 10 chances at 3.8% each thereby increasing the odds substantially, (eg having 10 chances each at 3.8% so in reality while not exactly 38% surely must be still far greater than 3.8%). Finally, does your odds of being a winner of multiple items due to multiple donations and entries exist?

If you have more than one ticket then you have more than one chance of your name coming out of the hat via the random number generator

Ah, so basically, each fiver donation is a ticket, and you can donate as much as you like, therefore you will get multiple tickets, so in theory you could also stand a chance of winning multiple prizes?

I wouldn't over-think it, mate. Give your money to charity and bask in a warm glow ... then forget about it. Winning a prize in any raffle is a pure bonus.

Those %s were based on a snapshot, the actual total number of entries is not known yet as entries are still being taken.
You have to be in it to win it, after that the more entries you make the more your chances of winning increase. The more entries are made by others the less your chances of winning.

I really wouldn't worry about it? The Stats have changed, so it's all academic. Sigh.
It's a shame this has proven to be such a slow burner, but we still have until the end of the month of course.

I can't send anything over until after the bank holiday, sorry for making you wait.

Every little bit helps Boss.

While I'm here..... has a live draw on youtube ever been thought about? That would be fun and make it exciting for everyone? Pretty simple to do these days too as I understand.

or even just a draw video posted on here?

F*ck OFF It's quite stressful enough thank you very much.
