Lottery draw time!

I wish I'd have made a render of Becca drawing a name out of a hat but, drat.... I daren't stop the animations running so ....next time! Anyhoo!

A little bit of explanation on how I've done this first. I need to do draws for Feb, Jan, Dec and Nov. Even if patron's have since left for the moment whilst they wait for new material (and I get that, I do) if they were patrons in those months as far as I'm concerned they are still owed the chance. Fair is fair.

But since this is the first time I've done this I'm going to start with the most recent month first. You guys are ...well, here I suppose and it seems equally fair to give you the first crack at this.

The draw is based on a flat tier for two reasons. Firstly I have to be careful not to be seen looking as though I'm making money off the back of this due to licencing reasons and by weighting the chances by tier that would be seen as an incentive for people to up their tiers and thus potentially land me in the poo....

Secondly it also allows you to see that I've played fair. I'm using

https://miniwebtool.com/random-name-picker/ which allows me to provide you all with sight of a certificate that shows the number of names that went into the hat so you know that I haven't played favourites. Since the number of names in the hat will be roughly equal to the patron figues (93 at this morning plus three who have cancelled in the month) it should give you a little bit of comfort that I'm not using loaded dice here.

Um...what else?

Oh! The draw! :)

And the winner is......

Since not all of you wish to be visible supporters I've extracted the certificate details here as the online link contains the full list of patron names that went into the hat. Showing that would, if you wish to stay under cover, be a bit of a faux pas on my part...

So my congrats to Handsome Jack and I'll be emailing them now to see who they want etc etc and then to get the figurine made.

Laters!
