OTHER:

  1. Concerns were expressed that the raffle randomizer has an affinity for Mike K and Tim B.  A googled definition of “random” returned, “made, done, happening, or chosen without method or conscious decision.”  Let’s focus on Mike K’s chances (which, would match Tim B’s chances because they each invested the same amount both weeks):
    • Last week, Mike’s investment had a 6.689% chance of being selected.  Eight other people had the same 6.689% chance of being selected.  Any one of those 9 people (including Mike) had a 60.2007% chance of being selected.
    • This week, Mike’s investment had a 7.9051% chance of being selected.  Six other people had the same 7.9051% chance of being selected.  Any one of those 7 people (including Mike) had a 55.336% chance of being selected.
    • This author doesn’t have any more time at this time to prowl deeper, but absolutely recognizes these two things:
      1. One given week’s selection is an independent event from any other given week’s selection.
      2. Mike K and Tim B and Nancy K were very lucky this season.
