Ten Seconds, Minuted

A Single-Site Case Study of a Community Choir's Raffle Tin, and the Draw Rule It Produced

A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities follows one suburban community choir through eleven end-of-year raffle draws from a single tin, finding that the last-sold block of tickets, 22% of the 6,240 sold, won 41% of the 132 prizes, and that timing and minuting the constitutional ten-second shake changed the record of the draw but not its outcome. The University has since adopted the timed, minuted ten-second shake as the standard for every draw it runs.
