As one of two users who won that raffle, I can say that it's a nice feeling to win stuff. At the same time, it always gives me a warm feeling to be recognized for my efforts. However, I'm not sure how this raffle is going to occur. Is it that the person with the most bytes will get the reward? In that case, then shouldn't it be called a contest, rather than a raffle?

I don't know how I feel about a raffle/contest being based on edits (I forgot to come to the moot; I apologize for leaving my opinion here instead of there). On one hand, useful editors get rewarded for their actions, but on the other hand, users who are useful in other ways (such as people who help with the forums) get no recognition at all. Personally, I don't need to win another raffle, so this is not to further my chances in the slightest. I just feel that the system may not be sufficient to honor every user's contributions. After all, even if it is based on bytes, a few hundred maintenance edits could still offset a few detailed edits.

Overall, I can't say if I agree or disagree with the current setup. It has both positives and negatives.
