    How many people tend to participate in each raffle? I’d like to know my chances of winning.

    Thanks so much! 🙂

    I don’t think that’s easily found out. Lots of us will enter one raffle but not the other, it all depends on what the prize is. So I think that the total number is extremely inconsistent, and would be hard to predict. It definitely won’t be the same each time.

    I mean, for instance, I only enter raffles for dragons, male griffons, or poads. But then again, like this last raffle, I didn’t like the color even though it was a dragon so I didn’t enter.

    So I’m not sure a clear answer can really be given =)

    I guess you’re right. However, Ms. Pena probably sees the number of emails that come in. Perhaps there is a certain number for most dragons… Though I understand if it would be hard to find out.

    I think it varies. Also, some people are brand new and win raffles – some people have been active members for years and have still not won.

    Quest participation for quests which have easy entry (like trivia questions) usually runs about 75-100 folks (though I’ve had up to 250ish), so I imagine raffles are higher.

    Melody cross-posts raffles to Deviant art as well I believe, so that’s a whole other audience that we don’t have for quests generally.

    It would probably take awhile for Melody to get history on even just the dragons and I think the answer would be, as Siri says, “it varies”. 🙂

      It really depends on how popular the prize is, and how early I post a pic! I didn’t record the numbers, but I’m guessing between 150 or so, and as few as 35.
      As raffles go, your odds are pretty good. Griffins and dragons seem to get the most entries.

        That proves that the winners are picked totally at random! I use a random number generator to pick the winner.
        I occasionally post the raffles on other sites, so sometimes we get a flood of entries. I don’t do that very often, because I don’t want gobs of people registering on this forum just to win something. I do think people on Deviantart are usually “real” and genuinely interested in stuff like this though.

        Interesting, and thanks for the reply! I’ll be sure to join the raffle at the end of the month. Hopefully it will be a dragon.

          It’s really all luck more so then anything else. I’ve been here for geeze… what? 7 or 8 years? At least that and I haven’t ever won a raffle. LOL! However I do rememeber some people who weren’t even members for a few months who won before. So, no matter your odds, you never can tell! You just have to send your email and cross your fingers ^_^

            It took me about 3 1/2 years to win a raffle. It is really all about luck. Getting the email from Melody that I won was so exciting and unexpected!

              I have tried for a year and a half and not won yet but I have seen some new people win with good luck so I suppose just keeping entering all the ones you like and hopefully eventually we will each get a chance to win something.

              Looking for rainbow or pink & teal grab bags!

              It is pure luck. I joined in January 2013 and entered every month. I won in November 2013!! (YEAH!)

              I’ve been here for three years now and haven’t won yet =P

                I’ve been here for over 10 years and I finally won the raffle in December. :tired: And there were only 3 or 4 that I didn’t enter.
