As i am sitting here, hanging over(because MANU lost last night), i was thinking, how does the mob draw work? If people buy, let's say 27000 tickets. Are there then 5 prizes? If yes, what happens do the 2000 points? Or do BRM but the missing 3000 by themselves?
There is no real point in this post, but i was just wondering...

Just look at the rules. Click where it says 'rules apply' and they are quite clear.
I'll save you the time and copy paste:
MobDraw Rules
It's voluntary whether or not you want to participate in our MobDraw No refunds. Once you have bought tickets you cannot get a refund. A MobDraw usually lasts for one week and is usually drawn (winners found) every sunday at noon (12:00 GMT). Currently we pay out prizes of 5000 MobPoints ($50). If the prizepool holds 11,000 MobPoints it will pay out 2x 5,000 MobPoints and the remaining 1,000 MobPoints will be added to next weeks prizepool. If there are less than 5000 MobPoints in a weekly prizepool, the amount and all tickets will be carried over to next weeks draw. 1 ticket costs 1 MobPoint. Each user can not buy more than 5000 tickets for each draw. A "rake" of 10% will be deducted for each purchase, since the MobDraw will activate alot of MobPoints that wouldn't otherwise have been eligible for cashout. Example: If you buy 100 tickets for 100 MobPoints, 90 MobPoints will be added to the prizepool and you will have 100 tickets in the draw. The visible prizepool ("X amounts of 5000 MobPoints" is not updated live, updates are usually delayed a few hours. One user can win multiple prizes each week: If you have 100 tickets and you win a prize, then you still have 99 active tickets in the draw for the next prize, and so on. All tickets are reset (removed) when a new weekly draw is started. Users with a valid date of birth will be able to claim 1 free ticket within 7 days from their birthday, if they have enabled MobMail e-mail notifications. (Most users who signed up prior to the summer 2008 will have to edit their account details to add a valid date of birth). Malfunction and attempts to cheat voids all plays and pays!
