Grand-prize odds
Your chance per single ticket of winning the top prize = 1 ÷ tickets sold. Buying a bundle multiplies it (a 3-pack ≈ 3× the chance).
Any-prize odds
Your chance per ticket of winning something = tickets sold ÷ total number of prizes.
Value / ticket ★
The prize value given away per ticket sold = total prize pool ÷ tickets sold. Higher means more of your ticket money goes back into prizes — the closest thing to a “bang for your buck” number. (Example: a $4M prize pool over 100,000 tickets = $40 per ticket.)
Catch the Ace
Progressive odds
If your ticket is drawn, your chance of catching the Ace is 1 in the cards left. Fewer cards = better odds.
