I think calling me dishonest is a little unwarranted. I understand that my idea of running this lottery seems to be generally at odds with the expectations of others (as you're not the only one to come forward), and I will also admit that I haven't participated in a lottery previously, so I wasn't aware of any standards on how they're run. But, massive prizes were still given out, and we (MS) stand to gain nothing by choosing to award/not award certain items. So, I am sorry you are disappointed, and I will certainly be taking such a critique into consideration for future events.
Thanks again to everyone who participated!
