How Low Can You Roll and Still Win?

I was scanning through some screenshots from over a year ago and found this one. It's still good for a laugh.....

The dice were good to you I see

In technicalities, you could roll a 2, and win out of 24...though the probability of that occurring is HIGHLY unlikely..

u could roll a 1 with 24 ppl and still win if they all roll 1 :P

Wouldn't that be a tie? I never rolled a tie, so I never go to experience that illustrious experience.

Im not sure how EQ2 settles ties, but it does

are the whole numbers we see actually rounded?

Just curious, but who would program a RNG without using integers or at least whole numbers? I'm not into programming, so maybe it is in decimals, but that would seem awfully involved.

Floating point math is used to handle the actual randomness engine, but it's integer results. EQ2 probably just does a silent reroll between tied characters.

Why do people bother having loot rolls display in chat?
