Yeah, well your gamer score on Xbox Live doesn't matter either. Just another way to be competitive.

4 more days left... the rules said that they will be conducting the random drawings on or about the 14th..
 
[quote name='yukine']Hopefully we all win something good, the odds are decent... 1 out of 45,400+[/quote]Apparently though, each answer is a chance to win.

So the odds are actually more like 1:2,000,000-3,000,000

Actually, it's more like 1:60.

I posted this back on page 44.


Alright check this out. I decided to make a prize break-down. As far as I'm concerned all prizes will be awarded at the end (December 12th). Here we go.


FINAL (1 Drawing)
1 Grand Prize - Pontiac G6 GXP Coupe Automobile.
1 First Prize - Ultimate Home Entertainment & Gaming System* and the Plen-T-Packs Package**.
1 Second Prize - 5 Day/4 Night Trip (Airfare included) for 4 to any Beaches Resort.
1 Third Prize - Addidas "Game On" Package***.


WEEKLY (5 Drawings)
1 Grand Prize - Xbox 360 Elite Gaming Console and 12 Plen-T-Paks of Winterfresh Gum.
1 First Prize - Microsft Zune.


DAILY (36 Drawings)
1 First Prize - Mountain Dew Mini-Fridge.
1 Second Prize - Samsung SCH-I760 Phone.
14 Third Prize - Xbox 360 Game of Your Choice.
1 Fourth Prize - Activision Sweatshirt, 2 Activision T-Shirts, and 1 Plen-T-Pak of Big Red Gum.
6 Fifth Prize - 4 $5 Domino's Pizza Gift Coupons ($20).


Alright there are all the prizes to drool over. But that's not all, I went ahead and did all the math for you, that's right, all of it.

Let's see here we have 842 prizes total given out over the course of the sweepstakes. If you find all 360 Xs then that would give you 303,120 chances to win something. So you know how many entries you have, what are your chances of winning?

Let's assume that every contestant that is in the sweepstakes gets all 360 Xs (which we know isn't true), giving them 360 entries. Let's also assume that 50,000 people will enter this sweepstakes. In total that is 18,000,000 entries. This means that your chances of winning something are 303,120:18,000,000. This breaks down to about a 1:59.5 ratio. In non-mathematical terms this means that out of every 60 people that enter, one of them will win something.

I decided to break the sweepstakes down for people to have hope about winning. This does not take into consideration that you can only win the daily prize once and various minor rules such as that. For those that do not know, a winning ratio of 1:60 is not bad. Have hope, and happy X finding.

Oh and I most likely made a math or logical error somewhere, feel free to correct me if you find one. I only did this for fun purposes.


*Ultimate Home Entertainment & Gaming System consists of an Xbox 360 gaming system, a Panasonic HD Projector, a selection of Xbox 360 game titles that you will choose, a Bose Surround Sound Speaker System, a Zune, and the Plen-T-Packs Package**.

**The Plen-T-Packs Package consists of 12 packages of Wrigley Big Red, Winterfresh, Doublemint, Spearmint, and Juicy Fruit gum.

***The Addidas "Game On" Package consists of a head-to-head competition via Xbox Live with an Adidas Athlete, Adidas sports equiptment autographed by an Adidas athlete, and an Xbox 360 Elite console.
