Thank you all for participating! Happy new year!
🛈 HOW I DREW THE WINNER 🛈
I wanted to make sure the contest was entirely unbiased, and completely random. After closing the ballot box (turning off comments) on December 31, 2022, I took a screenshot of every qualifying comment. Each screenshot (ballot) was saved as an individual image file. I then loaded the list of all ballot filenames into an array, shuffled the array programmatically, and then re-indexed the numbers to ensure each ballot was in a completely random order, having been assigned a new random number based on the shuffle mechanism. Then, I ran that list of numbers through a Mersenne Twister Random Number Generator to pick a single number from the available options. The selected number corresponded with a completely random ballot. For the display, I first ran the animation through the entire list of numbers (shuffled in the previous step) and then re-displayed the image file for the ballot which corresponded to the Mersenne Twister Random Number that was selected as the winner.

⚖️ LEGAL STUFF ⚖️
The prize being awarded is provided by Kingston Technology. You must reside in Canada to qualify for this giveaway or win its prize. A “ballot” or contest entry is a comment posted on this video, which must include your Canadian province within the comment text. Your YouTube name, image and comment may be displayed on our videos regardless of whether you win. We will be posting multiple videos related to this contest. You can submit one comment for a contest entry for each contest video, but you are limited to one ballot per video. Only comments received on these videos as posted to our official YouTube channel will be accepted. If you are watching this video on a different site such as in an embedded player on another social media platform, you must be sure to post your comment to the YouTube video page, not the separate platform. Your chance of winning depends on how many valid ballots are received. The winning ballot will be selected electronically and at random on December 31, 2022. The winner will be notified by our official YouTube account in a reply to their winning comment. The winner will be required to answer a skill-testing question. If an invalid ballot is selected as our winner or the valid winner does not respond within 14 days, a new winner will be selected at random and notified. The prize is provided “as-is”. No cash in lieu of prizes. No purchase necessary.
