Default Re: Probability of winning a small sweepstakes?

You have to look at the value of each induvual ticket. If there are 10 other entrants in every other time. If you enter 10 tickets, granted have a 50% chance to win that time, but each ticket has only a 1/20 chance to win. As opposed to a 1/11 chance if you enterted 1 ticket each drawing. I think that someone said the exact same thing in the linked thread.
