RE: CANCELLED!! THE LUCKY ONES - etc
Next, we count the comments of the winning post and play the second game of the lottery. In this case, there are 5 comments on this post, the winning number is 3. The third comment from the top down will win the second prize! If that happens to be from @musicforsteem, the next in line will win!
If I'm understanding, this means that the person who comments after musicforsteem gets two chances to win. They can win on their own number or on musicforsteem's number.
It might be better to subtract/ignore musicforsteem's comment before selecting a random number (i.e. if there are 5 comments with 1 from musicforsteem, the random number is between 1 and 4, and the comment from musicforsteem is ignored.)
Might cancel this in general but your idea would obviously be better indeed. We had spam and BS comments worked out, but every clever one would just post under our comments to get a higher chance :). As you can see, its a learning curve :D
