*Rigs the raffle to win*

you shouldn't have posted that, even for laughs...
if you happen to win something, I suppose a lot of people will be pissed
no matter what I show them to prove that I'm doing a fair drawing, using standard and publicly available tools, there's always an idiot or two to suspect that it can be rigged

I feel you might be underestimating our members' appreciation for sarcastic humor. Then again, I could be grossly underestimating some of our members' ability to be salty. You can remove me from the drawing to show we are impartial lol. I don't mind. This is more about our members anyways.

Most of her money goes in diapers and stuff for her baby
