Posted 2021-09-28 14:40:37 #532313 What is a ticket as opposed to an entry?  Im in a raffle where it says I have 2 tickets and 80 entries. My submissions to that raffle were 5x the SB "ticket" cost of 15, (worth 1 entry each) and 5 aloe, which were worth 15 entries each. My first thought was that tickets meant any submission, or at least the currency ones, but that would mean I would have 5 or 10. So what does ticket mean vs entry?  Is this a bug I should be reporting or am I just sorely misunderstanding the terminology here?

This is especially useful when working with GC tickets or item tickets. Each item that you trade in counts as a single ticket, but it may be worth multiple entries into a raffle. The same goes for SC/GC tickets. Each ticket has a specific cost, and worth. If we look at this raffle, for example, each SC ticket costs 1 SC and is worth 700 entries. Each GC ticket costs 1 GC, and is worth 999 entries. What you mentioned is definitely a bug. It's a display issue and I'll go ahead and fix that. You should have 10 tickets & 80 entries. It's grouping the ticket types together instead of adding them up.

Say in this case there isn't a requirement for a certain amount of entries or participants. When it finishes would it cancel or would some participants win more than one prize?

Posted 2021-09-29 20:43:14 #533222 @Zetonna: If a raffle has more prizes than unique participants, it will cancel when the end date approaches. Raffles that only offer between 1 to 5 unique prizes need to have a minimum of 5 unique participants in order for the raffle to complete. Raffles that offer more than 5 unique prizes need to have at least 1 unique participant per prize offered, so in the case of a raffle that has 20 currency bundles, 20 item bundles, and 20 wolves, there would need to be 60 unique participants entered into that raffle in order for it to run.
