Bash script for performing a fair raffle.
Check out the git repo, or wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wheaney/bashful-raffle/refs/heads/main/raffle.sh && chmod +x raffle.sh
Just run with raffle.sh and follow the prompts.
First value is the number of winners, all remaining values are entrants. An entrant followed by a number (separated by a space) will have that number of entries.
This will choose 3 winners, where Jane has 2 entries in the contest, and all other entrants have a single entry.
