RE: @steem-raffle drawing 70

The block in which the above post is included has a merkle root of dfd539abc3d59ed0beca31bab6e783825d4db6ef.
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:
dfd539abc3d59ed0beca31bab6e783825d4db6 = 4991640720585526289124306975368090927140523446 in base 10. The residual after dividing by the number of shares (482) is 162. Therefore ticket number 162 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
