In the extension [Giveaways (Chat)](https://extensions.streamer.bot/t/giveaways-chat/97), when a giveaway is configured to allow N entries per user, then it is possible to enter up to 2\*N-1 times.

Steps:

1. Broadcaster uses `!setentries 5`, then `!rungiveaway`
2. User does `!enter 4`
3. Same user does `!enter 5`

Result: chat sees `Thank you User for entering the Giveaway, you have -4 entries left.` and user is entered 9 times (user is listed 9 times in the data\gaveaway\ListEntries.txt file)
