I was in there when it went off. I didn't recognise the winner, I had never seen him before, and I recognised virtually everyone else in there. I asked a few other people if they had ever seen him and drew a bank. I asked them to ask others. So far, nobody I know has ever seen him before or knows anyone that has. Funny that...

EVen if that were true, why would it be suspicious? The bar attracts both expats and torusits just visiting for a few days. The larger the prize gets, the more the drawing becomes an "event" attended by non-regulars for this first time. Who can forget the the Walkabout used to be chock full of NGO chicks on Friday nights when the jackpots got huge, women who would otherwise never be seen in the Walkabout.

Why in the world would a new face winning the draw be suspicious to you? If regular had won people could complain about how suspicious it is that a friend or acquaintance of the bar owner or manager won, couldn't they?

Its just fun, i am 90% sure its a "little" scam, they dont put the joker in before at least half the cards are turned (26 weeks or half a year), they just want to make money out of it.

Thanks for your compliments about Honeypot bar, but this part of your post is totally incorrect. The cards are pinned into the display case face down in front of witnesses and then the case is locked. The Joker is in there from the beginning until it is picked. Each Friday night the case is opened for the raffle winner to choose a card and then locked again.
It was pure chance that the draw ran so long this time. It could get picked really quickly on this next draw.

The main reason i "know" its a little scam is because some-one who used to organise the draw told me after 25 beers
