Posted by GIOMi6: Congrats Jess with 5000 tickets you will win for sure the mobdraw, If I had 30000 mobpoints I would also risk 5000 of it for the Mobdraw.
well he wont be the first one i think that havent won anything with max tickets. but at least with that amount he deserves at least one piece of the pie gl

My fing hero! Whoever has the guts to throw 5,000 Mob points in the draw desrves to hit the triple like another individual has a couple times. I wish you the best of luck and really think you deserve the tri-fecta. Good Luck to All always though!

LOL - it would be a great place to start... You should buy exactly as many tickets as there are "5000pt prizes" and see if you can win all of them with the minimum required investment !
I would of course kill you though, if you did. So it's kind of a lose:lose situation.

All in eh? Crazy stuff. Me I like the sure fire $50 but hey, to each his own. Just out of curiousity what are your odds of coming out with more than you put in? Your pot odds if you will?
In any case, good luck with your daring play. I hope you win big.

Well it depends but I'll give you a simple example:
Let's say there are 4 * 5000 mob point prizes then my odds of winning all four are:
5000/20000 * 4999/19999 * 4998/19998 * 4997/19997
= (roughly) 1/4 * 1/4 * 1/4 * 1/4 = 256: 1 However my odds of winning just one prize are 1:1 (statistically speaking of cause, I am not guaranteed a prize despite 1:1 odds)

lol - actually - now that I think about it, the times I've won have NOT been the times I've purchased the largest amount of tickets.. Still, I've never bought 5,000 before..
