RE: @steem-raffle drawing 72

The block in which the above post is included has a merkle root of 4a8cf1a5d791fc9faa7a4dd00f4bed4f78e3cb45.
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:
4a8cf1a5d791fc9faa7a4dd00f4bed4f78e3cb = 1662533093214064586573666742504333788275336139 in base 10. The residual after dividing by the number of shares (849) is 89. Therefore ticket number 89 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
