For the avoidance of doubt, the winning number will be rounded down to the number resulting from the division. For example: If the total qualified participants is “1999”, it will be divided by sixty one (61) to derive the selected number of “32.77”. Sixty (60) winners will then be selected based on the rounded down of the selected numbers, hence every 32nd qualified participant will win the first prize and so forth. |
