The only way to make this right is to give everyone who entered a wheel. The ball errr wheel is in your court.

Okay so to clear some things up:
I truly did not think more than 10-20 people would have entered, given I am not really huge on social media and really only marketed this to the forum and on my IG.

I was 100% ready to take a loss on this wheel, obv we all saw that this got pretty big, in the end 60 or so entries which is awesome, at that point alone I would have already about broken even, but then people started entering 10, 8, 5 entries at a time and we got to 96 in total, since I know everyone was expecting less and it was my first raffle besides just drawing a wheel winner, I also picked a 2nd person to get $300 in credit, so pretty much an at cost deal and then for everyone who entered a $100 in wheel credit because why not, it gives everyone who played at best a pretty good return on investment, and may drum up some business, which given is what I'm running I feel like its fair to want. in the end yes I actually made more profit then I normally would have on a wheel, a little under $900 after PP fees, and wheels retail at $899, ($799 forum price).

For those who were expecting less people based on my initial statements I do apologize and please DM I'll make it right! Again I was only hoping to have a little fun with everyone and do something cool. I wanna try and keep doing this low cost entries because it gives everyone an opportunity to win something cool. Again @Sal Rod totally understand where you are coming from along with everyone else's thoughts. this is something new so I'll def make some mistakes on the way and I do encourage any suggestions on how we can make this better! Thank you again to everyone who joined!
I think you did great.
My first comment was just a suggestion,was never a complain.
ZRKLOWN had to butt in like always apparently and blow things up out of proportion thinking he is so smart forum posting every 10 seconds.

I definitely don't think I'm smart. I'm just a lowly internet idiot. You're wasting a lot of energy on me lol.

I didn't blow anything out of proportion, I just said it's silly to suggest something to someone about how to be less successful in their endeavors.

I've lost to worse with gacha. At least I saw someone win something for once instead of getting bent over and screwed.

Looking at you Priconne.

In fairness, your suggestion may have started as such, but it sure did sound like a complaint eventually.

Yeah probably after i was called an idiot by ZRKLOWN.
I can't complain about losing 10$,but i can speak up about having bigger chances in a 10$ raffle w 20 peeps vs 95 .
Lets say he does a DP raffle for 50$ with 100 participants or the same 50$dllrs but with only 30 participants,which one would you choose to enter?and yes yes thats not how business work ....
Make sense now??.

******maybe next time limit the number of participants?
Not saying the 10$ raffle was bad,but it started with like 20 and at the end was almost 100 people in the raffle.

Don’t change a thing. The raffle was great. I had already ordered a wheel and still entered with the intent of giving it away. I will enter the next one and the one after that. Keep them coming.

My thoughts were, if I win, I've no use for it, so it'd be unfair and stupid to enter which I'd then have to find the 2nd winner or smth and people be disappointed.
Hadn't dawned upon me to just enter to contribute to raffle.
Also, I'm hoping to with the lottery big time, so didn't want to use up my luck on this ?
I'm sending good karma to all of you. Here take it ???
