  2. Congrats to all. I'm confused though. Prize winner is #114 with no name? There were only 110 in the linky! Are y'all using AI cuz if so, it needing some tweaking! lol XOX

    1. Hi Aimeslee! That is a good question, and honestly, I'm somewhat surprised no one has asked about this previously. I'd be very happy to explain my rationale.

      The prize is always 4 units higher than the number of entries received. Since the Design Team (DT) members contribute voluntarily (aside from occasional small gifts I send them for holidays), it wouldn't be fair for them to contribute without being eligible for the gift card. Eden and I, as hosts of the blog, do not enter the draw.

      When there's only 1 gift card, the odds of winning with a single entry and 110 entries are 0.9%, and with 114 entries, they remain at 0.9%. With entries exceeding 100, the likelihood of a single entry winning diminishes significantly. If you're interested, I can share the detailed statistical calculations with you.

      As I personally fund all aspects of my two challenges, I've chosen to include DT members in the draw to ensure fairness, as it doesn't reduce anyone's individual chances of winning. At PHMHP, Eden and I are the only DT members, so random.org is determined by the number of entries only

      I hope this helps explains why there is 4 more every month here at Colorful Options.

      TY for asking, as I'm sure there are some who are too timid to ask the question.

      xoxo Makira

    2. Oh, the prize winner is #87, not #114. It is a video showing random.org pick the winner; not a static image.
