September 11, 201411 yr I won a fully golden Armadyl outfit, with only 1 ticket used =D! Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?'

September 12, 201411 yr First week I got Golden Bandos Warpriest (trollll) and Silverhawk BootsThis week I got Golden Zamorak Warpriest, which is what I wanted :) the boots are actually Golden Saradomin Warpriest though -.-Going to do 1 ticket each GP/SH Feathers day but save the rest of them for Godswords now. Also winning raffle tickets through TH now ffs knew they'd try to monetize this
September 12, 201411 yr So far I've won a single portable bank because I just came back from 8 months of Irl-scape and forgot that Thursday night isn't actually Thursday night on Runescape. Also winning raffle tickets through TH now ffs knew they'd try to monetize this Isn't that paying for a chance to win a ticket to have a chance of winning darts which give you a chance at a rare boss drop? You have to jump through so many hoops it seems like it wouldn't matter at all. From the empty days of hope, deny the darknessFollow my voice, we'll run far away from hereIf only to hide, to escape this lifeAnd live forever, forever in the sun

September 14, 201411 yr Won no boots with 14 tickets again. I think you've got the same chance of winning with 1 tickets as with 14 tickets. "Night gathers, and now my watch begins.

September 14, 201411 yr Used 19 tickets, got boots and feathers. The 250 feathers is worth almost 11m right now. “I had a feeling we weren’t coming back from this fight when it began.”“Do you have any regrets?”“I don’t. It seems surprising, I know, but I wouldn’t change a thing. This is how it was meant to be.”“Huh, you never really notice how lovely the day is until you realize you’ll never see it again.”“Mmmhmm.”
September 14, 201411 yr No boots/feathers for me, oh well. Only a couple tickets spent. "Fight for what you believe in, and believe in what you're fighting for." Can games be art? --- My blog here if you want to check out my Times articles and other writings! I always appreciate comments/feedback.
September 14, 201411 yr Won no boots with 14 tickets again. I think you've got the same chance of winning with 1 tickets as with 14 tickets. Nope, you have 14x as good a chance of winning. The fact that you don't think so doesn't matter. All you have is your "hunch" that more tickets doesn't increase chance of winning, compared to the documentation which says the opposite. Essentially, taking that stance is an ignorant and illogical one. [hide=Drops]Araxxor Eye x1 Leg pieces x2GWD: 5000 Addy bar Steam B Staff x3 Z Spear x6 Sara.

Ideally you would also include the amount of possible draws right?You need to know how many people entered multiple tickets too.No that is redundant information as far as actually winning goes. The number of tickets you enter matters because each one directly increases your chance of winning. However, each multiple ticket someone else enters does NOT do the same. If I enter 10 tickets and you enter 10 tickets, I increase my chance of winning by 10, but you only decrease my chance of not winning through your winning by 1. That is because although you may have more tickets, only 1 can win. So if 20k people enter for 20k prizes, but everyone puts in 10 tickets, it'll show there being 200k tickets. But the chance of winning isn't 1/10, its 100%. And you go from there. 5k prizes, you need to know how many people entered as well as how many tickets to determine odds. Remember, no one can win more than once. Since we can't know the total number of people, only tickets entered, it's going to be rough estimations. But take darts. 250k entered for 20k prizes, but odds weren't 20/250 to win. I entered 8 tickets, for example. If everyone entered 8 tickets, that would mean each ticket you entered would have a 20,000/31,250 chance to win. Better than 65%. But again we cant know that variable.

September 14, 201411 yr Except that I can put in 10 tickets and win 10 prizes. It's not limited to one prize per person; people have won multiple copies of the same prize on the same day by entering multiple tickets. If 20k people each enter 10 tickets, and 20k prizes are given out, 2000 of the 20k people who entered could each win 10 prizes while the other 18k get nothing (or, rather, get lamps). I think the only variables that matter are the number of prizes given out, the total number of tickets entered, and the number of tickets you entered, but probability is not my strong suit. Edited September 14, 201411 yr by Sorator Obtained quest cape and base 92 before obtaining any 99s! Currently finishing out my 99s with the (long-distant) goal of comp cape.

I think the only variables that matter are the number of prizes given out, the total number of tickets entered, and the number of tickets you entered, but probability is not my strong suit. I'm going to need to see screenshots before I give any credence to that claim, since based on the statement by Jagex you can't win more than once per person. Not saying there isn't a bug, it's possible, but I've seen no evidence of it, and until I do I'm going to have to base this off the information we have, which is you can only win once. Quote from the FAQ on multiple wins: No. Using multiple tickets for a daily raffle will give you a greater chance of winning, but you will only ever win one prize from a day's raffle.

September 14, 201411 yr Well Vezon just won boots and feathers in the same day, but that may be a special case because the prize on that draw changes if you own boots. In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.
September 14, 201411 yr Mod Pips has said it is unlikely that JMods will be handing out tickets today due to internal network issues so you'll need to do a daily challenge to get your second ticket instead. "Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale."
September 14, 201411 yr Mod Pips has said it is unlikely that JMods will be handing out tickets today due to internal network issues so you'll need to do a daily challenge to get your second ticket instead. The context of what he meant by 'today' is debatable - the issue reared it's head for the 8pm event and then he said that at around 9pm.Given that context "todays" could of easily just meant the 12am and 4am ones that rounded off that round of jmod events, with "tomorrow" being the 10am onwards ones Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue

It's not limited to one prize per person; people have won multiple copies of the same prize on the same dayThat wasn't supposed to happen though :o. Have there been glitches? Edit: at above, Mod Simon is there handing out tickets now, looks like it's been resolved I guess. "Fight for what you believe in, and believe in what you're fighting for."

September 14, 201411 yr Wow, I absolutely did not expect that: I entered 4 tickets on a whim and won the 250 feather prize. Thanks for the free 10 mil jagex :)
September 14, 201411 yr Well Vezon just won boots and feathers in the same day, but that may be a special case because the prize on that draw changes if you own boots.Unfairly, when you win boots, they come with 250 feathers to charge them. It is not a second prize.
September 14, 201411 yr Oh, right. I thought he meant the charged boots on top of an additional 250 feathers. Shame that the boots only come with 250 charges as opposed to the 500 off TH. In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.
