Drownedinsound Community Hardship Fund Winter Raffle: Draw Thread 🥳

Hello and welcome to the Drownedinsound Community Hardship Fund Winter Raffle :tada:

We’ve raised £1150.69 from 83 people and have 66 different prizes on offer (90+ total)

Before I explain the raffle process I want to remind you all that the money is there for anyone to use should they need it for anything this festive season and beyond - that is the whole reason for starting this thing, so please no one hesitate if you need a little financial assistance :slight_smile:

Also, donating to the fund doesn’t stop with this - you can still put money into the bank account any time and I want to say a thank to all our regular/semi-regular donors who have kept the fund going since it started.

More thanks to @anon82218317 and @anon26275971 for massive organisational support and also @ynot for stats and along with the other committee members helping form this and check things along the way. Sorry anyone else who has helped if I have forgot to add you here x

Everyone who donated a prize is incredible too, can’t believe the range of amazing things people came up with so thank you for contributing :heart:

Down to business then!

  • Tickets will be drawn at random from the tombola and winners will be assigned the highest prize still available from their preference list.
  • In the event of there being no prizes left on a persons list I will refer to the poll in yesterday’s thread which asked if people wanted to be skipped or contacted about choosing another prize (if you didn’t vote in the poll I will do the latter as default). I will continue drawing while waiting for responses otherwise this could last forever.
  • Tickets will be drawn until all prizes are allocated. This may be a very long process but :crossed_fingers: it’ll be finished today. I’ll need to break for things but will let you know when the raffle is paused.

Ok, shall we get this started? Good luck everyone :grinning:

My desk is in the direct eyeline of my manager and my manager’s manager in an area with poor mobile reception, this is not a good day for me.

I couldn’t get into the livestream until like 30 seconds after it was done. Curse you technology!

Good stuff though :smiley:
