What a fixed 30 percent chance looks like
Each press is an independent test against the same threshold, so a run of losses does not improve the next draw. After five tries the chance of coming away with nothing is still about one in six.
| Draws | Chance of at least one win |
|---|---|
| 1 | 30% |
| 2 | 51% |
| 3 | 65.7% |
| 5 | 83.2% |
| 10 | 97.2% |
1 minus 0.7 raised to the number of draws.
Why this is not a prize pool
A physical draw takes each lot out of the box, so the odds shift with every pull and winners are capped. Here the threshold never moves, so ten people in a row can all win or all lose. With a set number of prizes, fix that number in advance.
Frequently asked questions
What are the odds?
It is set to produce a win roughly 30 percent of the time.
Can the odds be changed?
Not from the page itself at the moment.
Can I set a different win rate?
No. The cut-off is fixed in the code at 0.3 and the page has no field for it. For other odds, use a random number tool and pick your own threshold.
Can everyone in a group win?
Yes. Nothing caps the wins, since each draw is judged alone. With four people the chance all four win is about 0.8 percent, but it is not ruled out.
Is my draw history sent anywhere?
No. It stays in this browser's local storage on this device, up to the 50 newest draws. The page opened elsewhere shows an empty list.
