Chris_Chocobo on the Cheat Engine forums apparently found a way to isolate the various raffle prize values in the PC re-release of Shenmue (http://fearlessrevolution.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7851&p=73387#p73387), but unfortunately his Cheat Engine table links have gone dead. I tried reaching out on the forums but it's not clear if he's really active over there or not.
I've tried playing around with this myself and I am not having much luck finding these particular values. Assuming this still works like the Dreamcast version / what Radar found in this thread (https://www.shenmuedojo.com/forum/index.php?threads/raffle-draw-stories.191/#post-3775), the prize assignment value is written when the raffle animation sequence begins. What's not clear to me is whether or not this value stays in this memory field until the next drawing event.
Assuming it does, in theory you could isolate this by doing memory scans after each draw and using a value of 0 - 5, 0 being a loss (presumably), and 1-5 correlating with the various prize levels.
The sad thing is that figuring this out will probably take me less damn time than winning the Goldan Dural again. I did it in the original and I'm not sure that's something I want to go through again. The OCD side of me isn't letting me complete the game without a complete collection though.
Maybe it would be easier to try to figure out how to alter the inventory.
