Want to figure the odds of winning?
Take your posts (minus any chatting), divide by the total number of posts (minus about 100 for chatting) and multiply by 10. I think if you did all the bonuses you have about a 5-10% chance or something like that... It could be a little higher. Or lower.

How do I find my posts again?

SO EXCITED! When do we find out who won?
He's Pacific Time and he usually draws sometime between 7 and 11 Pacific. Or tomorrow or the next day. Also, with 10 prizes there's usually a pretty good chance 1 or more won't claim it so there'll potentially be a redraw or 2 after a 72 hour wait.

88/(3220-100)=.028
2.8!=4.7

Also it would be more complicated than that's since the total posts to choose from would change based on the previous winner's posts being eliminated. Assuming everyone has as many posts as I do the equation would be:

E/3120+e/(3120-e) and so on 8 more times.

DAILY QUESTION: What's one topic of discussion in these daily questions you've enjoyed discussing or learning about? What's one thing you'd like to know more about with regard to reef lighting?
I did a bit of reading regarding the sun/moon sync. I think I’ll give it a go.

DAILY QUESTION: What excites you most about the future of saltwater aquarium lighting? What is one innovative idea you hope will eventually become a reality for reef lighting?
Hopefully the lights get more spread with less lights so you won't have to spend 10 grand to get nice functional lights that look great and perform
