The block in which the above post is included has a merkle root of b902f2f4423869260cd1950800980d3332086c8a.
The last two digits of this root are used to determine if there is a winner. Ending in 0 gives an upvote and ending in 00 means the jackpot was cracked. The remaining digits determine which ticket wins. To do this we compute the residual after dividing the root by the number of virtual tickets. In this case this would be:
b902f2f4423869260cd1950800980d3332086c = 4125894759308290378639126574987977101132564588 in base 10. The residual after dividing by the number of shares (482) is 362. Therefore ticket number 362 would win.
This time the root does not end in 0 and thus there is no winner in this drawing. The post will be upvoted to increase the jackpot
