As you all know, I've been giving away a $10-$20 prize each day through the BOTD-Sponsored giveaway. These daily giveaways every day are exclusively for OnlineBookClub.org members.
I think more and more people are entering the daily giveaways each day.
I'd like to increase the prizes at least proportionally, preferably even more as an ongoing thank you to all the people in the community for helping spread the word and getting us more members and more entries. In short, as more people enter, I want to increase the prizes.
There are two ways to do this. I could choose multiple winners each day so two people get the prize. Or I could double the amount of the prize for the one who wins. Which would you prefer?
Whether I succeed or not, I work very hard toward the goal of giving back as much as I can to all the wondefl members of OnlineBookClub.org who make up this amazing community, whether it's giveaway raffles or just free-to-use features and additions to the site. So please also feel free any time to send me any suggestions or ideas you have for new features or improvements to OnlineBookClub.org.

@"Scott", I see the option of 'Multiple Winners' got the most votes.

Since multiple winners was selected, I was thinking of making it so who ever has the most 'entries' automatically wins 1 of 2 prizes in addition to the random winner. That will make it even less the case that someone can enter a lot every day and have too long before winning. What do you all think?

What happens if they're also randomly chosen?

I suppose it would be a really good day for them

Yes, I'll make it so whoever has the most entries is automatically a winner, and then have the software randomly choose a different entry. I should be able to have this done for tomorrow's giveaway.
