The block in which the above post is included has a merkle root of c2aefa517be926019bca92d8866fcb7a68cc70ca.
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:
c2aefa517be926019bca92d8866fcb7a68cc70 = 4341587285169646391773928770548379852372233328 in base 10. The residual after dividing by the number of shares (482) is 96. Therefore ticket number 96 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
