With all these lotteries,,, I would rather never win anything "big" for a long time and finally hit the big prize some day. Does anyone know what the odds are for the Rolex? If the odds for $200 is about 20,000 (I know it is a rough calculation) I guess it would be even far higher for the Rolex;)

$15k is such a nice prize to get though;)

The odds are probably significantly high in comparison which is why the exact odds don't really matter. When it comes to lotteries, it's best not to bother with the odds and probabilities for obvious reasons.

It's best to just buy the tickets and forget about it. If you win, you will probably receive an email or some other notification. If you lose, you probably won't even remember it. This is the best strategy when it comes to lotteries in my opinion.

I believe the odds for the roll is definitely reasonable but also a bit annoying as well Cheesy

. The trouble there is the fact that there is like 150% (lol) chance of winning either 50 satoshi or 50 reward points, those are guaranteed ones, and more often than not thats all you will get, HOWEVER the wheel looks like ... well a wheel which makes you believe that there is equal chances of other things, which it doesn't but the animation makes you feel that way.

A regular gambler who knows how things work would say that it is just the animation and it has nothing to do with the result, in fact the result happens in the back end and whatever the result comes the animation shows that, so nobody could be pissed about the animation if they know how gambling works. But this is more about pscyhology, even though I know I will get 50 satoshi or RP, I still hate to see all those options right near them and yet so far away Cheesy
