Win the new TS 55 REQ!

The site will only accept one entry per person. Even if you try to enter multiple times, only one is counted. Attempting to "fake out" the system with extra entries will result in disqualification.

So, how many entries do you get per month on average? Just trying to figure out the chances...

Yea, odds is what I was getting at also :)
 
I think that was asked earlier in this thread, or another one about the sweepstakes.

We're not going to publish information about the number of entries, plus it varies from month to month. I can say that several winners recently I noticed had entered 5+ months. So, entering every month is a way to increase your odds, as well as completing the optional second step with your address, etc.

Your odds if you don't enter are zero.  [big grin]

That was me  asking that Shane on PM. Gulp....I haven't left my keyboard since then waiting in earnest for my email telling me I won. Is that bad? ; )

No, the odds are the same if the number of entries are the same.

Your odds of winning the specific month you enter are the same if you only enter once.  However, if you enter every month, your odds of ever winning increase.

Actually.....
Mathematically, you do not increase the odds because you enter every month. Just like you don't see a mathematical difference in flipping a coin for heads or tails multiple times to get one or the other. The odds remain 50% for either heads or tails no matter how many times you flip the coin.

The same holds true for sweepstakes and lotteries. The odds don't change, you just have NO odds if you don't enter. Same chance every time if the number of entries remains consistent.

To illustrate, I once sat at a baccarat table in Reno, Nevada and watched the winner go to the Player side 17 times in a row...even though the "odds" favor the banker side.

Now... I don't need the jigsaw, so if someone wants to give me their entry, I'll take the CT36 and give  you the jigsaw if I win!  That truly DOES double my odds!  ;D
 
The monthly sweepstakes is a great promotion, Thanks for the chance to win.

We're really debating over semantics, but it's entertaining, so we'll keep it going.

We are in agreement that the odds of winning a specific month are constant regardless of how many months you enter (assuming constant # of entries).

However, if there are 12 sweepstakes in a year, your odds of winning *something* that year are significantly higher if you enter all 12 sweepstakes vs only entering one.
