Has anyone calculated the probabilities of winning big in wheel of fortune?
The chance of winning the biggest prize (The $15,000 Rolex) is 1 in 2 billions.
The chance of winning the $1500 iphone is 11 in 1 billion.
The chance of winning the $500 Amazon gift card is 3 in 100 million.
You can calculate the winning chance of each of other prizes using the following table easily.
Thanks, and i just stopped rolling it for good. I knew those were going to be low numbers but those numbers are just insane. There's a 1 in 175 million change to win a powerball jackpot as for comparison.
I wouldn't win FOW that if i rolled it every hour for 100 lifetimes. I am somehow betting that i could imagine any ultimately rare freak accident i would have WAY better odds getting into that then winning odds of 1 : 1 Billion.
The fact that i could roll it 24 times per day doesn't really help when you look at the big picture.
