RE: @steem-raffle drawing 81

The block in which the above post is included has a merkle root of d7c3479b7d06939aa32e33b13c2df2e2c9533377.
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:
d7c3479b7d06939aa32e33b13c2df2e2c95333 = 4811671480168338452991466852653713634005439283 in base 10. The residual after dividing by the number of shares (802) is 149. Therefore ticket number 149 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
