Purchasing multiple bundles gives you higher chances of winning - adding your name as many times as the amount of bundles you've purchased. The bug with the prizes coming multiplied was because tanki added 2x if you bought 2 bundles etc

Yes, but the way the winners were chosen (as shown on stream) was to make a draw of 2314 names from a database with duplicate names for those who bought multiple bundles. The resulting list of winners (as published) displays 2314 rows, but with many duplicate names. In other words, the final list of winners has less than the number of individual winners we were told there would be.

At the end of the day it's Tanki's discretion what they want to do with their winners numbers, but the fact there is a discrepancy seems off to me, to say the least.

Because you weren’t picked to win. It’s the luck of the draw. It’s a lottery

In the list all participants are 2314 players who bought the package, some of them are winners and some of them do not win.

absolutely wrong, more than 4-5k (maybe) people participated and bought the package. However the number of winners increase by ONE when 8K IS ADDED TO THE FUND. U buy the cheapest package, u get all level 1-15 prizes, but it doesnt increase the number of winner, however u might still be a winner, but it is not guaranteed

No, the total amount of winners is 2314. There's no such thing as 2314 individual winners. The amount of names that were shown were probably 5k or more, that's all the bundles purchased in total but it doesn't matter if someone is duplicated (won twice) or not, you buy the bundle twice - you increase your chance to win. For example, I bought 2 bundles (the 990 + 5990 tankcoins bundles) and didn't win anything from the Giveaway lmao. It's all based on luck afterall.

Look again at the Google Docs document  with the list of winners that was published. You will see that it has 2314 rows, duplicate names included. The conclusion is clear.

Edit: To be clear, I’m not talking about the total number of people who entered the giveaway. I’m also not disputing the way the draw was made: people who bought multiple times should have more chances to win, as in any lottery. But in a normal lottery, when a name is drawn twice or more, it is discarded the extra times. That wasn’t done here. Because of that, some names took up multiple winning slots, and there are less winners than was claimed there would be. It would even be possible to find the exact number by subtracting all duplicate names from the winners list. 

Edit 2: Because I have no life, I quickly checked with the "remove duplicates" function on Excel. There were 2187 individual winners selected. A difference of 127.
