Funny, the people making fun of people who would complain about the unfairness of it seem like bigger jerks than anyone else. Congratulations on showing your lovely colours~. In all seriousness, congratulations to the winner(s)! I do agree that in cases like this where not everyone can purchase 10 mil BP's worth of tickets it's weighed heavily in favour of those with that kind of cash to -spare- though, which leaves a lot of people feeling like they shouldn't have even bothered.

That's the risk of a raffle, though. I've seen raffles with ticket limits before, it does happen. Saying that this was unfair just because some people have more money than others is pretty much like saying that people shouldn't be allowed to earn more money than others, or if they have that much, they shouldn't be allowed to spend it on what they like. When you buy tickets, it's obvious that other people are going to have a chance to win, too, hey, if they WANT to buy lots of tickets, well, that's on them. I doubt they would have complained if they DIDN'T win, so why should other people complain that they did?

Okay, seriously. I said it in rants, too, but I'll say it here: I WORKED FOR EVERY PENNY OF THAT BP.
How do you guys have any right to say that it was unfair? The raffle itself said that people could buy an unlimited amount of tickets, and I can't believe that any person here who is getting angry and focusing on how much we spent wouldn't have done the same if they'd earned that money and wanted the pendant like we did. We argued over whether it was too much, whether we should buy more, whether the ten percent chance we had was worth it. Every person here who has commented on the people complaining are people who had to hear Yoolee and I droop because suddenly it wasn't a good thing we won, we were suddenly people being lambasted for spending the money we did. Whose to say we didn't spend everything we had on this? You people don't know the state of our finances, and it's not fair to assume.

I'm not saying people have a right to be angry about you guys winning. Hell, I'm happy you guys got it, considering how much you spent on the chance! What -I'm- saying is that there is little point to raffles without a ticket limit for many people. I don't doubt you guys worked hard for your BP, I really don't. I have no idea how you may have come across it, how long it took, anything like that. And I don't think you guys should be made to feel like it was -wrong- to spend that BP. You earned it, you spend it how you want. Whatever. I, personally, just don't believe that the comments so far have been the best way to address the situation to those complaining. But either way, I'm going to back off now, because I don't really do well with conflict and would rather not shove myself any farther into this.

Lol I think I hear a WAAAAAAAAAAAAmbulance. Seriously guys, it's a raffle. That's how it works. Imagine how much it would have sucked if they hadn't won after spending all that money! But they wouldn't have bitched about it because that's they chance they took.

You three deserved it<3 Perhaps next time there's a raffle we just leave the amount of ticked purchases out, so people don't go "OH MY GOD THAT'S NOT FAIR, THEY'VE GOT MORE MONEY". Yea, so? They earn it fair and square. If it bothers you so much, don't participate in raffles. We don't need you dampering spirits because you don't have 10 mill to go spend. I'll admit it, neither do we. I didn't win, and I bought a few tickets. Do you see me calling it unfair? No. :| Now leave them alone. <3

.....wow. some of you guys are seriously rude. :/ I agree that 1 ticket raffles are actually fair.
Anyway, Seriously congrats for taking the risk <3 I didn't buy any tickets because I knew someone was going to spend that much lol xD But you did get what you deserve, and great people got it :D
