I'm curious fellow steamgifts users: who has beaten the longest odds on a giveaway? Like, the most wanted games with public giveaways usually get thousands of entries, and one person has to be the winner.

So I want to know, who's the luckiest of us all? Doesn't have to be one of the most wanted games either, just the winner of the giveaway with the most entries.

Feel free to also post with your personal longest odd win, and how happy/excited it made you to win it! My longest odd: Shortly after I joined the site I won a copy of Beyond Good & Evil out of 1,683 entries. I was totally jazzed and even a little shocked to win, especially so soon after joining!

This is just for fun, all you get are bragging rights if you make the top ten!

Gonna (try to) keep a list of the top 10 from this thread for reference:

1) Ellegon - Skyrim: 10,211*
2) IronFang - Max Payne 3: 6,221
3) Gary0ak - Skyrim: 5,835
4) Morgeek - Bioshock 2: 5,561
5) Anubisfr3ak - Orcs Must Die! 2: 5,518
6) AtomicWoodchuck - Killing Floor Bundle: 5,226
7) fangmich - Dishonored: 5,100
8) ThePejlka - Quakecon Bundle: 4,727
9) MatheusCRO - Battlefield 3: 4,366
10) dirtling - Trine 2 Collectors: 3,560

*Note: Giveaways with 5 or more copies and developer giveaways don't count for this list. This number is completely arbitrary, and might change if people take this too seriously and make a fuss.

I wrote a script at one time to determine if a user was lucky or not (I should actually make this public). The following two users topped the list. In first, we have Getinmabelly. This user entered one giveaway with 2,513 entries and won. They marked the gift received, and then never entered another giveaway. Number two is nk1124, with a similar situation, but 1,789 entries.

I just looked for a Skyrim giveaway with many entries, this came up: 7151 entries, 1 Game...Really nice, only bad thing is, the guy who won it didn't even play it after 2 months and the gifter even wrote in the description to only enter if they play it -.-
