Not to make a big deal of it, but it's obvious the randomness of the giveaway system is broken. A simple solution to share the fun during big giveaways would be to limit the amount games a user can win in a 24 or 48 hour period. So you can get a game a day still and more people can win.

Other than the random function code, I suspect it's a problem with when the contest ends. It seems like if several giveaways end within the same minute or two, it is much more likely to give multiple prizes to one person.

Maybe EviLore EviLore can look into it.

I said it months ago, tbh.

But I don't believe in RNGs.
