From their page:
Each player who answers ALL 40 questions correctly will share a GRAND PRIZE of $1,000,000! Is [Ain't] the lottery. Each 40 for 40 person gets {a share of } the million. Edited for my utter lack of reading comprehension. Duh. Assuming all 70:30 picks: The Biggie: 40 out of 40 is roughly 1 in a million (think 20 out of 20 on a 50:50 pick, which is 1 in 2 to 20th ). So EV of $1 Weekly: 5 out of 5 is roughly 1 in 6. Pays $100. EV of $16. For 8 weeks. Say $128. 4 out of 5 is roughly 1 in 2.75. Pays $50. EV of $18. For 8 weeks. Say $144. So, if all the questions are 70:30 (doubtful, since there are only 4 more weeks of regular season [with lopsided games] to go, then 4 weeks of post-season play with less lopsided games), is the promo that bad for someone who normally plays at Party?

[/ QUOTE ] Did you miss the word "share" there? I take that to mean if there are two or more winners (yeah right)then they split the million. |

What they should have done was make the first 4 questions simple and then make the 5th one something like chosing who would win a certain game. [/ QUOTE ] You, sir, are smart. That is a wonderful idea. Too bad the people at Party aren't that smart themselves. Even make the last question 5 or 6 possible answers would have been a great move. |

The chance they have to give out the million is less then one percent. Assume 10,000 people answer all 40 (probably way high) and that each person's average answer has a 60% chance of being right (remember people arent always going to pick the best answer, and many questions will be toss ups).
(1-(.6^40))^10,000 is .99999, so assuming i remembered the formula right and my assumptions are close party only has to pay out the million one out of 100,000. Enjoy! |

you are very very very wrong. the odds of going 40/40 are alot more than 1/ 100,000..40/ 40 IS basically impossible

This game is at the Alamodome here so the Saints will have a pretty big crowd pulling for them for a change. Might be enough to pull the upset. [/ QUOTE ] Incorrect. The Monday night game will be played in Atlanta at the Georgia dome. Be thankful you dont have to pick the point spread. |
