There is someone who has won 4 times already. A random draw is a random draw ;-)

Maybe the system prefers a special colour.
Note: There was a hint regarding the person in the above sentence :D

cough cough
im really surprised im one of the top winners here. i usually have rotten luck. maybe it has something to do with entering like 200 different giveaways.

141 or not, so freaking what. I entered a billion before the restriction (thank god that is in place, my conscience is too weak!). I've won once so I have no complaining, but I'd like to think that even if I hadn't won anything I'd still be happy for the guy. I hope wins 4 more tomorrow.

200 was an exaggerated approximation. plus i removed my entries to a lot of contests.

Wow, they're so lucky! I really want to win one. :P I'm hoping to buy a pack soon when I get paid so I can start contributing. But I don't get paid till next week.

The 4 Wins guy cough just went up to 5 Wins ... seems pretty odd to me :/

Oh, he just won the Deathmatch Classic one. So now its 6.

Definitely possible, maybe I can work it into the footer.

Update those stats please, would like to know how many individuals have entered a contest without wining a game as well.

My parents are dead guys, cut me some slack. And I won three Portals, trying to get that situation fixed at the moment...

I have entered 84 giveaways so far, around 40 were for portal and another 35 for half life 2 and the rest for misc ones life hl2 episode 1.... so far no wins... I am just hoping the program used to select users at random isn't ignoring my username because it has all these numbers :D Otherwise, I am sure that the giveaway winner selection is pretty random (the stats state it pretty obviously).

I've one 2, but only one of those counts because the second was from something in the comments of a giveaway. It seems pretty random to me. Hopefully you will win one soon, good luck.

Never won anything so far. Eventually everyone will.

I really wish this site had a down vote feature so I could vote this comment down.

There really needs to be a feature that automatically removes you from all giveaways for the same game when you win one. I just saw a user who I will not name win his THIRD copy of Portal.

Hey I'm trying to get people to stop throwing you under the bus and here you are trying to take someone with you? :)
Just out of curiosity, if someone gifts you a game that you already own, does it then just sit with you as a giftable game or is it lost in ether of the internet?
Comment has been collapsed.
im really not trying to take someone with me. im just trying to show: hey, im not THE bad guy. at least, not the only one.
i really appreciate you trying to defend my head though.
as for the gifts, they arent lost. i can forward the email to anyone else for him/her to accept. i forwarded some to my girlfriend and im keeping one for my uncle's birthday. (im trying to avoid giveaways for games i already own now, but with 189 games on my acc, theres not too much else to get ;D just kidding, theres still plenty of stuff to get. i really want to win a copy of terraria for my GF though)
oh and in case i get the uncensored version of a game i have censored, i can contact steam support to remove my censored copy so i can claim the uncensored one. im trying to do that with HL1 anthology

I know enjoyslongwalks irl, he's just as surprised as everyone else that he is winning so often. He didn't already have Portal when he entered the giveaways, cause he was pretty stoked. I'm sure he can just put the extras back into the giveaways.
Srsly, everybody is getting so butthurt that they are not getting games for free. Its not Hax or anything, its probably just a flaw in the randomizer or something.
And plus, its not like valve doesn't use every chance it gets to give you Portal for free. If you don't have it yet, then you aren't paying enough attention to steam to begin with.
Comment has been collapsed.
I do. I'm talking with one of the fellows that I won a Portal from, He's saying that he can't revoke and when I try to redeem I get a gift acceptance error. If someone knows some way he can get his game back I'd really appreciate the help.

The guy won my Fortix have already won 3 games including mine.
Is there something wrong with the randomness of drawing on this site?
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, there's a thing called the law of large numbers. There's only been 394 giveaways at the moment, which isn't 'that' much. Once there are more giveaways, the anomalies, like people winning multiple giveaways, should even out. However, the point system sort of messes this up because people can join giveaways with low points and low entries to maximize their wins... Not that I disapprove of the point system, I think it's great.

Ok, this is FUCKED UP!!! Blue Legion has just won his 6th game just a few min ago... in an entry that had 100 people in it. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON. There should be no reason he should be winning with 99 other people that haven't won a fucking thing!!!!!
Comment has been collapsed.
lol, I saw it, I was on that giveaway. I don't think the site is rigged but I do think there must be something wrong with the random algorithm, It's like a pattern repeating over and over again.
PS. I'm not bashing the site, I think it's wonderful, already won one and I'm grateful.
Comment has been collapsed.
If the pattern is an identical loop which you're assuming then he would've won every single entry, which he hasn't. You don't need to investigate shit, he's almost won the same as me if you look at it with a win:entry ratio.
You can't mess with RNG, so don't even try, sir!
EDIT: Ok maybe our ratios aren't that similar, but are very similar to a lot of people. But I'm sure if there is a algorithm flaw it'll has been checked and fixed.

Nice! It'd be cool if I win, sometime. I'm not really positive on that though.

Just out of curiosity. I haven't won any yet, even though I've entered tons, and I was wondering if it was the same couple people who keep winning
