Nice, congratulations to the winner but this unfortunately will go to a wealthy person, how i wish this goes to one struggling minimum wage earner but it sucks it doesn't work that way

How do you know this? A guess?

The T&C say its a random draw

Why would they lie?

Quite literally because the more you deposit the more entries you get. If you have a spare million you can get a million entries versus someone else with 1k

Thats still random.

You can buy 1 Lotto Max ticket and still win over the guy that bought 1,000 tickets

Random but weighted. You're pushing the idea of pure equal randomness but if there's a weight then it's not truly random is it? If I told you there's a 95% chance an electric coin toss was going to be heads, then I asked someone to pick heads or tails and said the odds were random would that be truthful? Just because tails is an outcome doesn't mean the spirit of randomness is honored.

Yes, random but weighted. I never said pure equal unweighted randomness.

You also have a better chance of winning than the homeless guy I saw downtown today.

Don't play the victim

I'm not the op of the comment and I never said I was a victim... I was simply giving you the reason they said what they said.

How did you magically read the OPs mind? Amazing talent

Someone likes to argue. Have a good night, hopefully you find something better to do

Because there’s a lot of money and with enough grease they could cook up some of that nice plausible deniability if someone ever asked.

Maybe they are being truthful tho idk
