The block in which the above post is included has a merkle root of 686e9a38446c948368105f60dc4ee5369f994643.
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:
686e9a38446c948368105f60dc4ee5369f9946 = 2328912330376230475383462230991350578225846598 in base 10. The residual after dividing by the number of shares (1044) is 458. Therefore ticket number 458 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
