Thanks for everyone's positive comments.

Ticket calculation was audited overnight, looking good.

As to tickets, are you factoring in purchases from the DIY store too? Seems fair to me, especially because I bought a lot there! :)

I considered it, but wanted this to be a thanks to the community, and not the store, or about money.

Donations were counted because that's some people's way to contribute to the community.

How we might do things in the future, that's open to learn from experience.

While this was obviously so much work (I wasn’t involved) it is also the “fun part” for Jason and Nelson.

While exhausting, this has been the most fun I've had in a while. It has felt like "hobby" not work. The charities are very personal to me. The many amazing members I have interacted with have given me a lot of energy and made me feel very proud to have had my part in the building of this community.

I even don't get the chance to fill in my name , did try severall times .

Hope you got some sleep last night Jason, you are doing a great job.

For all the members here who have participated in this event, can you confirm the following thanks.

1. For the very lucky members who get chosen for the first lottery - they will not be eligible for the second draw in a couple of months.

2. Those that have entered and were not successful in the 1st lottery will be automatically entered in the second lottery and do not have to post again when that lottery is open.

3. Lastly, what is the reason for the delay between the 1st lottery for the P channels and the 2nd lottery for the N channels.

Thanks again on behalf of all members who frequent the Pass labs forum, for the sterling work Nelson, yourself and the team has done in all of this.

Thanks mate!

1. Affirmative
2. Affirmative
3. They aren't ready, and "steady as she goes". We might even dribble out the first batch to people so any potential issues can be corrected. It's a lot easier to fix 50 problems than 100, and 100 easier than 200. Especially when international shipping is involved.
 
It’s not a calculation, it’s a very rough estimate to put our expectations at measure.
Of course, for second run everything changes.

@tombo56
When I referred to the calculation starting from the second lottery, I referred to the lottery of the second unit (02/90) of the VFET-P and not the second lottery of the 90 VFET - N. In the lottery of the second unit of the firsts 90 VFET - P, the numbers change because the one that has already been drawn is removed from the list and their respective scores.
