    From my understanding this draw has 80 tickets sold which results in a 1.25% chance per ticket bought. Glad there's no freeloaders in this one with essays.

    You mean people that don't want to bother gambling $20 for a slim chance to win something?

    It's not freeloading, it's the rules of how this is allowed.

    You need to think this statement through.
