Multiplying entries by number of copies?

Hello. Thanks for the script. But I do find it missing a critical feature - it doesn't account for the number of copies in a giveaway when checking if the number of entries is higher than the limit. Assuming this isn't a bug on my end, is there any way to get it to do that? I only really need the script when there's a mega flood of giveaways and I'd waste thousands of points while asleep without it, and in those cases multi-copy giveaways are frequent and have the best odds.

I tried a bit of tinkering myself but I don't understand enough to know what I'm doing and haven't had any success so far. Help would be much appreciated.

So this code does account for copies but only when comparing to number of entries for best odds of winning. It does not take copies into account when checking against entries for entering in the giveaways.

How i'm understanding what you want is if there are 3 giveaways each with 5 copies of a game and you have entries set at 10 for that game it would only enter you into 2 of the giveaways seeing as that would equal 10 entries?

I'm not sure I understand your example. So let's put it this way - if there's a giveaway with 5 copies and the maximum entries set for that game are 80, I want it to enter if there are up to 400 entries. Right now it would only enter at up to 80 entries, regardless of how many copies there are. So giveaways with a high number of copies but low entries per copy get passed over. Since you only need to pay the point cost for entering once regardless of the number of copies, this makes no sense.

What's even worse is that when it runs out of things on the list and hits the point threshold for entering other things based on best odds of winning, it passes over anything on the list that's over its entries limit, even when it has better odds than anything from off the list. Or at least I think that's what's happening.
