[kornyx]

I use the raffle feature and everytime i do raffles with 10+ people it seems to pick the same 3 peopl every single time. It is kinding killing the whole point of randomness here.

Please help.

The Random Number Generator used for it has been checked before, and it's working fine.

Randomness does allow for the same people to be chosen, because, well, it's random. If it artificially selected new people every time, it wouldn't actually be random.

TL;DR: Small data set results in same numbers appearing more frequently.

Unfortunately a random number generator on computers is never really truly random. Be assured though that the RNG system used in Deepbot is seeded to allow it to be as random as it could possibly be. With such a small range to work with though you will find that the same "numbers" will keep coming up. Even the places that claim to be truly random (http://www.random.org) and not really truly random although they are pretty close.
