I got around 40~70 tickets. There r like 10k players on venus at least 7k of em have been to CTF and all got a few tickets, which gives me a minimal chance of winning >_< so technically, each player of the 7000 gets a 0.0142% per each ticket used to win one of the 6 items. (1/7000)(100) = 0.0142% knowing that there r 6 prizes, he gets a 0.0852% total of winning (0.0142%)(6) = 0.0852% So, assuming that I opened 40 tickets, I get a 0.568% of wining one of the 6 items ( means I get a 3.04% in total to win), which is relatively small, AlbelNox said he opened about 500 tickets, which gives him a 7.1% to win one of the 6 items (means he gets 42.6% in total to win), which is an extreemly good chance. (lets all jinx him so maybe he won't win) Assuming albel actually wins, lets measure the amount of gold he spent on these tickets compared to the price of the SOX he is gon win(mentioning that he bought all of the 500 tickets) tickets range from 400 ~ 4 mill (400k, 800k, 1 mil, 2 mil, 3mil and 4 mil, these r the most common prices I think) in the stall network. In order for me to calculate an average price, I will have to know the exact prices of each of the 500 tickets he bought, add them togather and divide by 500....so, forget about that, lets assume the average is 2.5 mil (unless u know a more accurate method to get an average for variables) (500)(2,500,000) = 1,250,000,000 <---- the approximate price for the tickets, the actual number shud be around this (I am guessing less) a lvl 76 SOS +5 weaker than a 85+5, so unless Albel wins a SOM or SUN, given that there r only 2 SOMs and only one SUN he gets a 21% in total (knowing that Albel already has a couple of +7 2h, also I am not really sure how strong is a 76 SOM + compared to a lvl 85 +) still, doesn't mean he's gon win, a guy who only used on ticket can still win it, the question is, is it really worth it risking 1 bill for a 21% for wining when a a guy with 1% can win? Edit: by "ticket" I mean subscription card and Edit: by "items" I mean SOX prizes Edit: plz correct me if there r any mathematical mistakes

the event ran for 3 weeks, 12 ctf a day = 36times 7 = 252 ctf events minus 6 for server inspections (cutting off 2 ctf a week) = 246 ctf events times times 8 assuming full 8 man parties won 2016 maximum subscription cards per server times about 10 for how many games run at once 20160 cards apox max per server,
realisticaly alot of games end in ties or glitches infact so cut out about 20% of that number now figure in dcs and people who leave after mobs are dead so cut out about another 20% of members in ctf, 20160 * .8 *.8 = 12902.4 cards so lets round down to 12900 probable cards max
so i used 2 cards apox 0.000155 = 0.0155 % for me so i got a 1 in 10,000 chance of winning so still more likly then me getting a sun weapon drop
assuming only like 10 ctf happen at once average

assuming only like 10 ctf happen at once average u forgot a crucial fact, there is about 10 CTFs running @ the same time, that's true, however, there is like 10 CTFs running @ the same time for people @ the same lvl...I'm not sure how joymax classified them, but they were like 5 stages of different lvls (20~35, 35~50, 50~6x, 6x~7x, 7x~90, I am not sure of the lvls @ all), which means that 20160 cards, shud be multiplied by 5, I think. I'm not sure how u came up with 0.000155 based on ur pervious calculations tho.

All this math for nothing. The people who will get the SoX will get them. Even if they had 0.002% chance while some other guy had a 2% chance.

VersaLicious wrote: does it mean that if the 7000 peeps got 15 tickets, they all got a 0.00095% chance to win one of the 6 prizes? My calculation was for the sosun only. So peeps got 0.00095% * (Number of tickets you own) chance to win the sosun. (Of course thats if everyone has 15 tickets, but we know most peeps have more, so the real chance would be less than 0.00095% per ticket)
