Tune in at 8:00pm EST to see if you are a winner!!
No m for for for for all right I think I actually have it working now sorry about that everyone give it a few minutes let some people trickle in here good evening good evening for all right I think we’re dealing with some drop frame issues
Can you guys type in the chat and let me know if you see that frames are dropping it’s a little glitchy on the video give just a few more minutes here everyone good evening the party is on Lorna does it look like I’m dropping frames like does it look pretty glitchy on your
Side my side it shows that I’m dropping some pretty big frames here and I’m not smart enough at streaming to know how to fix it okay you guys can still hear me okay the audio is still coming through all right see if I can Tinker with a few settings here
And maybe make it a little bit smoother for everyone maybe make me a little bit smaller in the corner there maybe that’ll help okay well uh technical issues and image issues aside if you guys can hear me then that should be good enough so first and foremost I want to
Thank everybody um for participating not only in this but also in the Golf Coast charity open um you know it really is a pass passion project for our staff we spend all year working on it um and we hope that you guys enjoy the time
That you spend um and that you feel like the money that you spend is being put to good use so all the money that we’ve raised over this past weekend is going to be donated directly to Echo Brandon um Eko is a nonprofit organization that specializes in in providing emergency services for um
Displaced and otherwise um unfortunate situation impacted families um so some sort of situation happens and it causes them to lose their home causes them to lose their car causes them to lose whatever um and Eko steps in provides food clothing um you know job counseling all sorts of services and so we’re
Really happy to be able to partner with them really happy to partner with the Florida real estate team our title sponsor in selecting Ekko as our beneficiary charity um it’s just been a really great great partnership with both um both organizations and we thank them but more
Importantly we thank all of you because without your guys’s kindness and support and donations um obviously we wouldn’t be able to do any of this so we appreciate you guys again I apologize for the uh for the bad frame rates here on my stream I’m not sure what’s going
On um but we’ll go ahead and get underway I’ll give a short little explanation about how this works and then we’ll rip through these and give out some really cool prizes if you win something tonight be on the lookout for a message from me I’ll be sending you a
Text or an email or something uh to coordinate how we can pick up uh the the prize and drop it off to you or if we put it in a box and ship it through mail then we’ll do that as well um basically what we do is we take the entirety of
Every raffle ticket that was purched purchased um over the last week and we loaded into this spreadsheet the spreadsheet is not incredibly fancy it’s built to be very easy to understand um and very reliable so essentially we represent every single person as a single record and represent the number
Of dollars that they spent on raffle tickets um and we roll that up so as much as people want to buy $10 here buy $10 there buy $10 here it’s actually better for you as a player to roll everything up because you get deals for more raffle tickets as you
Spend more money um so even though the the thought process and idea is is to spend $10 here spend $10 there spend 10 $10 here and that splits your numbers across the pool of numbers so to speak um it’s actually more beneficial for you as a player to roll those up into one
Dollar amount and then just have them produce sequential numbers um you get more credit you get more raffle tickets that way so um we then take that and we toss it into a random number generator here this determines the order so the order of how people are represented on
The list is not alphabetical it is also totally random um and then we use a very simple ticket lookup to be able to determine who is actually winning the prizes themselves so um that process looks like this this is just number that’s here it’s not somebody
That’s won yet um these are all the prizes that are down here on the left hand side uh we’re going to start with our least valuable prize and work our way up to the top it’s going to pick a random excuse me it’s going Tock pick a random ticket and then the associated
Random person that’s with that ticket also just because I like to see it I like to see what the percentage is that that person has of the overall tickets in the bucket so that’s what this cell right here shows it shows shows that the person has purchased X
Number of percentage of tickets um so we will go ahead and get started I will get this running so we can start drawing our first prizes our first priz is to throw on the mountain Shamrock ESP buzzes was donated by Southern Peak financial and our winner
Is Michael McClary one of our our title sponsors from the Florida real estate team thank you Mike okay this isn’t liking that either I guess I’ll just have to type it out all right next is a season pass for the Golf Coast tour challenge um so this
