Yes that's the way it works. 10 000 tickets or more means two prizes of 5000 mob points. 15 000 tickets sold means 3 prizes of 5000 mob points. You can find all the details by clicking the rules apply link in the mob draw section of your mob account. There is now a rake apparently where slightly more tickets than 5000 are needed to make a prize. I'm sure this was not the case when it started.

LOL Now imagine yourself using that strategy at Euromillions: "Let me see, there are 500,000,000 combinations of 5 numbers from 1 to 50 also combined with the combination of stars numberes from 1 to 9, and each ticket (or "key", or combination) costs 2€, so i think i am going to buy 300,000,000 tickets to upper my probabilities of winning 10,000,000€. Oh, wait a minute: i think will cost me a bit more than the prize..."
