The block in which the above post is included has a merkle root of 10036ffb50c4ad4d27591c56c4e77515fd1a63e6.
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:
10036ffb50c4ad4d27591c56c4e77515fd1a63 = 357111365432613248502971479500542454089456227 in base 10. The residual after dividing by the number of shares (455) is 2. Therefore ticket number 2 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
