Capparezza Posted December 1, 2017 Congrats, Mr Lyo! First manatee is on it's way and Thanks to the Community here on EB and Copmike for the Raffle! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ColletArrow Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) I remember watching last year's raffle unfold with the Mysterious Manatee Madness, and I'm even more excited now I'm in it! I may have added the calendar as a bookmark on my browser... I don't envy @CopMike's job of collecting and dispatching 144 prizes! The effort you go to for the community is admirable. 5 hours ago, CopMike said: 203 entries, 144 prizes -> 70,935961% chance of winning ! *rubs hands together* Yeeaass... although that will steadily decrease as time wears on, ending at approximately a 9% chance on the 24th. Nonetheless, good luck to all! EDIT: Ok, I may have spent to much time on this, but here's a spreadsheet (with graph) of the probability vs the date. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1l846TgJeM1NQpmIGk__Mn_eg6u8LEUO3jwl8187bJU0/edit?usp=sharing Edited December 1, 2017 by ColletArrow Created spreadsheet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy D Posted December 1, 2017 Well, better than a 50-50 chance for the first 15 days. We are all hoping to be on the good side of the 50-50! A huge Manatee would be great! Andy D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CopMike Posted December 3, 2017 Please - write which prize you won (A - F) in the message subject line so I can sort you easy. And also please - don´t write like this: Hi, my name is XXXX and I live at YYYY street and my postal adress is ZZZZ in the country of QQQQ. That´s a bit hard to copy & paste! Instead as this : XXXX YYYY ZZZZ QQQQ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
