It's called a draw for a reason. If you have 1000 tickets and you win on one of them, then the rest of your tickets are not automatically removed - since you have already bought them, after all. Then you have 999 chances to win the next prize as well.

That's amazing, to win the the draw 4 times on one day! I wasn't to sure the webpage was right either, with that guy who won twice, but there you go. I went for broke too one time and nothing.
Posted by midnight1954: lol,, I bought over 1 k once and won,, then about 60 and won,, since then nothing its all just in the luck of the draw so they say,lol
My god! What a lucky lady! So your next challenge is winning the draw buying only one!

I check the winners each week and as far as I remember, the luckiest so far did indeed have just two tickets. I don't think there has been a winner with just 1 ticket yet. You could be the first..

One a day for a year thats hmmm,, 365? I wonder if the maths genius will tell us this , does that give you the same chance of wining one time in that year as you would have of wining once buying 365 in one draw,,, confused I am

no your wrong , its 1 ticket every draw so 1 ticket a week 1 ticket a day would be 7 tickets in for every draw

I'm not a genius of maths but, in fact, I'm mathematician (it's true!) and what I can say is depending on the amount in the draw, the prize ... But, in "common" circumstancies "that's the same!". Let's see: 1st case: You buy 1 of N tickets and you repeat that 365 times. This is a binomial distribution with probability 1/N so, the expectation value is 365/N. 2nd case: You buy 365 of N tickets in a unique draw. Your expectation is 365/N. I hope this helps

Posted by midnight1954: yes some of these men think that they are so clever trying to confuse us mortals with there math formula, no sweets for him
Oh damn! Again you! Of course ... you haven't understand me again. I wanted to help you and you didn't appreciate it. Ok, no matter. I'll take care with you next time. And don't say "clever men", that's not a question if i am a man or a woman, it's the person itself. I only wanted to help you. Sorry if you've been offended (again!). The answer to your question about the draw is "Yes, it's the same"
there was x8 prizes I think and 1 lucky guy won 4draws 
) only one
