This bot takes a post with a number of polls, and runs randomness on it to generate a list of raffle winners, then posts that list in a reply to the original post.
On Discourse, post a poll like so:
[poll type=multiple results=always min=1 max=3 public=true chartType=bar close=2025-01-04T23:00:00.000Z]
* 1 x Raffle Item One
* 2 x Raffle itme two (there are two of this thing available)
* 10 x Widgets
[/poll]

* 5 x Raffle section two item one

[/poll]
