you sent the money one/or more of those addresses will show up in the account for the draw. You may not recognize your address but as long as you show confirmations it's in there somewhere. When the winner is determined and it's you, I send money to that SAME address it was sent from

but what address do you choose when there are multiple inputs that went into the 1 btc spend?

for instance, here there were three inputs: http://blockexplorer.com/tx/6eb7c67f2f94e01606bef45ce64425e41ef9987863b00628b5a55bf0dc362ec7

Any would work.  I'd probably pick the oldest address just so there is more likelihood they have that address backed up somewhere.

As long as you sent the BTC using bitcoin running on your computer, the winning will go to your address.  

You mean "the winning will go to one of your addresses" -- but it's hard to predict which address, right?
Essentially you have at least 100 or more addresses your client could sent the money from. Only a few are known to you probably. When you sent the money one/or more of those addresses will show up in the account for the draw. You may not recognize your address but as long as you show confirmations it's in there somewhere. When the winner is determined and it's you, I send money to that SAME address it was sent from, and when you run bitcoin it will show up as a payment. I've seem some pay a unique amount if your not sure what's going on. (It can't be a lower amount of course) So if you paid: 0.250001 or something else unique it would be easier if you wanted to know for sure what ticket was yours. Or just go by date and follow the address back in blockexplorer till you see one that you recognize as yours.

Ultimately though, if you don't keep track of anything or know what's going on behind the scenes, your money will still go to you if you win. You don't really have to do anything. There are many people watching making sure I don't make a mistake!

I got 33 confirmations.  I can show you a screenshot.

I know the address is correct as I copy and pasted it.

I'm just not sure if I'm missing something on this.
I mean your sending adress.
If you sent to the right address and you got confirmations then it worked. Sometimes when you look at the tickets you may not actually see what you think is your address. Sometimes the "FROM" will be from an address you don't see in your address book. As long as you sent the BTC using bitcoin running on your computer, the winning will go to your address.

Just a reminder for those who are planning on entering the June 1 draw to not wait till the very last minute! AND the time is UTC not the time of your home obviously!!!  Last month had two late payments. Good luck to all those you are entering!

So far the winner is taking over 110 BTC!! or about 968 USD. I think we'll probably hit 1000 USD though.

...aha, yeah you're right, thanks.  I misread it and thought there was a 1-week dead period between yesterday and the drawing.  Reading comprehension fail.
Would you suggest I fix the writing to be more clear. (My writing style is sometimes not the most clear) Or was it just tired reading?

Glad I double-checked the instructions before entering for the June 1st drawing, or I would have been too late and wasted the coin.

?

If you're referring to: "BTC must be in a Bitcoin block dated prior to Wed 00:00 UTC of the draw date.", I'm pretty sure you have until the last block on 5-31.
