December 1, 20177 yr Pretty damn high chance of winning a huge manatee. Awesome! once again, thanks a bunch for hosting this event every year. Can only imagine the huge amount of work that goes into this.

December 1, 20177 yr Thanks for the contest. It is fun to see what people come up with every year (and to see if I win).
December 1, 20177 yr Congrats, Mr Lyo! First manatee is on it's way and Thanks to the Community here on EB and Copmike for the Raffle!
December 1, 20177 yr I remember watching last year's raffle unfold with the Mysterious Manatee Madness, and I'm even more excited now I'm in it! I may have added the calendar as a bookmark on my browser... I don't envy @CopMike's job of collecting and dispatching 144 prizes! The effort you go to for the community is admirable.

Nonetheless, good luck to all! EDIT: Ok, I may have spent to much time on this, but here's a spreadsheet (with graph) of the probability vs the date. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1l846TgJeM1NQpmIGk__Mn_eg6u8LEUO3jwl8187bJU0/edit?usp=sharing Edited December 1, 20177 yr by ColletArrow Created spreadsheet
December 1, 20177 yr Well, better than a 50-50 chance for the first 15 days. We are all hoping to be on the good side of the 50-50! A huge Manatee would be great! Andy D
December 2, 20177 yr I'm honoured, this is my 2nd year in a row to win and the first for my creation on the calendar. Thank you CopMike and Siegfried. Cant wait to see what Prize A will be this year; hope everyone has a great Christmas :-D
December 2, 20177 yr I am really excited to learn who will be winning! When will we be knowing what the prizes are? And thank you CopMike for your generosity!

December 2, 20177 yr Day 2 and I already won?!? That was considerably less stressful than last year. Thanks CopMike!
December 3, 20177 yr Author Please - write which prize you won (A - F) in the message subject line so I can sort you easy. And also please - don´t write like this: Hi, my name is XXXX and I live at YYYY street and my postal adress is ZZZZ in the country of QQQQ. That´s a bit hard to copy & paste! Instead as this : XXXX YYYY ZZZZ QQQQ
