Default Re: Anyone else think Paradise\'s Gift Tree is rigged?

There is a graphic on their site of a tree with presents underneath, each with a number. Apparently if you win the freeroll a rep contacts you to pick a number.

I found it funny that some of the presents were very distinct, like the large square box and wondered whether it was a bit like Indiana Jones and the Last crusade. The 25k would be in the crappy looking box.

If we assume that the person at paradise who designed this wasn't very creative...

There are 8 Masters Pize packs to distribute among 15 numbers... maybe that prize is all the ODD numbered boxes [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Picks so far... 3,7,11,13

The 5th winner picked gift #1 - another $2K package.

Well, there are 15 "gifts". 8 of them are the 2K tourney entry prize, so so far the unlikelyhood of 5 in a row comes to:

8/15*7/14*6/13*5/12*4/11 = ~1.865% chance of this happening.
