The block in which the above post is included has a merkle root of 51d20f820c15e85218fda224738da3cbd152cf8b.
The last two digits of this root are used to determine if there is a winner. Ending in 0 gives an upvote and ending in 00 means the jackpot was cracked. The remaining digits determine which ticket wins. To do this we compute the residual after dividing the root by the number of virtual tickets. In this case this would be:
51d20f820c15e85218fda224738da3cbd152cf = 1824659218224545291621980327782020443561611983 in base 10. The residual after dividing by the number of shares (1017) is 17. Therefore ticket number 17 would win.
This time the root does not end in 0 and thus there is no winner in this drawing. The post will be upvoted to increase the jackpot
