The first 5 Casascius is just a estimation - i don't think they are that big worth 
0.5 BTC
lol i want one ticket so much but i gotta think about it!

For example (Block hash ending in):
0-8 0 - entrant A - meaning 00, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80
9-f 0 - entrant B - meaning 90, a0, b0, c0, d0, e0, f0
0-8 1 - entrant C
9-f 1 - entrant D
This would generate 32 tickets with even probabilities of winning.
0-8 0 - entrant A - meaning 00, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80
9-f 0 - entrant B - meaning 90, a0, b0, c0, d0, e0, f0
0-8 1 - entrant C
9-f 1 - entrant D
This would generate 32 tickets with even probabilities of winning.
Your hex calculations are broken.
There would be significant higher probability to hit entrant A and C versus entrant B and D.
Instead use
0-7 and 8-F for the second last nibble.
Thanks, I just noticed that when you mentioned it. Will update

Great
Will be know the prices of the raffle or will it be a mystery??
I'll prefer to know them
I'll release a list of all the prizes.Will be know the prices of the raffle or will it be a mystery??

Great!
look forward to it!
Also , i hope that since ticket cost will be high and it might take time to fill all tickets - so probably just register name and then when all filled - take payment ??
Just what i think
Registering names wouldn't be a bad idea.
I'm also trying to find other fair ways to generate numbers other than blockchain. At the moment I could do 25 prizes varying from 0.06BTC to 4.0BTC. But it wouldn't evenly distribute chances among block hashes.
For example (Block hash ending in):
0-8 0 - entrant A - meaning 00, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80
9-f 0 - entrant B - meaning 90, a0, b0, c0, d0, e0, f0
0-8 1 - entrant C
9-f 1 - entrant D
This would generate 32 tickets with even probabilities of winning.
To tell you i didn't understood it at all
I'll use real blocks as an example:
Say the raffle used block 413332 then 413333 and so on and so on.
Block #413333, the hash ended in "4d"
Block #413332 ended in "50"
So if you picked "0-8 0" you would get the first prize.
If you picked "0-8 d" you would get the second prize.
The entry list looks like this:
Code:
0-8 0 - Person A
9-f 0 -
0-8 1 -

Personally, I wouldn't spend 1BTC for a chance to get a 0.06 prize, even if I could win a 4BTC prize.
Yea, I can understand that. So far with 25 prizes, tickets would be 0.64, if I had a fair way of generating numbers. Meaning I cannot alter the results.
I tried to run raffles for BTC in the games and rounds section, my way was to upload a small video of each drawing using a bitcoin gambling site for number generation and hashes as proof.

Yes. I would play, but maybe make the tickets a little lower or more tickets...
thanks
I can probably get it down to 0.5 per ticket with 32 tickets, I'll just need to find more prizes.thanks
I can supply some prizes if you would like....
I think if you broke up the Cas set and added some other fun prizes, you'd get more interest
I will play too
So everyone wins
That is what I would like to do. So everyone wins
As always love the raffles but I will probably be priced out of this one.
Will be awesome to watch though.

I'm with minerjones on this one - 1 btc is a lot to many of us - I am still trying to figure out if I want to buy one of those new BTCC titanium coins as well, so now I'm on hold for a bit, until I see what your prizes may be... Looking forward to that part!?
Somewhere around 1BTC depending on how big the prize pool is. total goodies I estimated at 17BTC currently.
