Is that true that the chance of winning is 5%?

I feel like it's much much smaller.

Well if we say that about 4000-5000 are entering (low estimate), your odd are more like 0.0002% if you enter for one

[rowdy]

Have already come to terms with my chances, just making myself comfortable for the next session.

This expresses it perfectly.

Although there is still a chance that you will be pleasantly surprised

If you look around, you'll notice that far fewer than 1 out of 20 people posting during the sales will win.  And then you realize that there are tons of lurkers (typically more than non-lurkers), plus reddit, DT, and all the other forums.  Your chances are quite small, indeed.

I was hopeful for a second there Hoff.

[appleonama]

have any of you won more than 1?

[Joey Quinn]

Entered for all the caps. Hoping for my first clack.

That is why we have this thread.

I want my first clack too! Would be so cool to get a nightowl/candy corn

I entered only for those 2 and the Raven.  Maybe I will get one, probably not, but maybe.  I don't get overly anxious on these, but a nice surprise email from MK would be cool.

Haha, sorry!    That's just how it goes.

Yes.    With the 4grabs email system, if you get in you likely get more than one (though not always).

That's when he posts an email address and a list of caps, along with a countdown timer.  You send your emails with your preferences after the timer ends, and he goes down the list of entries by time assigning caps to the winners.  If you're too late, you're out of luck.

This is my preferred method, since it's so exciting.  The whole minute before the timer ends is just edge of your seat, and then ten seconds after it ends the therapy begins. 

[connorelsea]

Where would I go to know when one of these was happening?

Everything is going to be alright. Everything is fine.

[Karura]

This is sweet. How many do you guys usually submit a raffle for?

Is there priority for those who submit less?

[CommonCurt]

Reporting in early.

I couldn't believe I won something in the last EK drawing (I have the worst luck of anyone I know).   Here's to hoping lightning can strike twice.

Usually the Clack Therapy thread begins buzzing when something's about to go down 

[Belfong]

If I get it, I am going to order the HHKB black space bar from EK as well.. and maybe that acrylic storage box; although I am not sure if that storage box will cause the shipping fees to be more expensive. Ohhh EK, pick me!

[nubbinator]

This would be the best birthday present if I win.  It may arrive just in time for it.  Τύχη watch over me.

This is so apt.
And yet, I was expecting Candy Corn, because you know, Halloween.
But I think we all didn't expect Nightowl MKII.. that is OMFG indeed!  :eek:

[rainb1ood]

Entered for 6 MX keys

This is very true. If I start singing, you'll probably need therapy.

Haha, well over a year of entering clack sales without success has taught me to be prepared for failure

Also if I win while expecting failure it will be all the more glorious   

[scubaste]

I'm in for them all. Good luck everyone! Must prepare heart, must prepare wallet. One is sure to get hit.

[JaccoW]

Wellp, ground floor.  Expect nothing as usual.

Was not planning on buying anymore keycaps for a while.

But Nightowl is Nightowl.

Quite the collection of 'hit' clacks on there this year, bound to be incredible demand for this one.

Who can resist the fabled Candy Corn?

[whitelines]

My first participation and i go right into clack therapy.

The excitement of the remote possibility to get one is worth participating.

Went in for all the MX

[cheesedgrate]

After six failed Bro sales, this is my first Clack participation. I'm incredibly excited, although I suspect the therapy part of this thread will become quite familiar in a few days. Planning to go all in with Topre.

[baldgye]

Well I put in for the blue eagle thing as it looks baller as ****! It's the only non-Miami themed thing I've gone after in a long ass time but its just so cool!

Also was there any build up for this? I just got a rude wake up this morning and boom in my inbox was an email from ek...

Agreed, that eagle is really badass.   

I don't think there was any buildup or warning.  We were all hoping for it and half-expecting it, but it was still a surprise to me.   )

There never is build up for the EK lotteries, as far as I've seen. There is an email, the things are put directly up for entry, and that's it.

Yup, these are no fun. You get no rush
