Congratulations PINOTTE. I saw your name as I went to hit the safe myself.
As for the mathematics discussion that underlies this thread, it's an interesting point.
Considering the observations of Marqis and yout85, here is my take.
Your child is arguably 50% of you. Any child of your child, will arguably be 50% of them. Therefore one could argue that your grandchild is 25% of you! (Notwithstanding there are 6 people involved, the grandparents values doe not get diminished by the other families involvement, therefore while 16.6% may be an argument, that assumes they all have an equal interest in each other's children, which they don't.). Try explaining that to the little one over a bottle sometime!

Hey guys you are a bit to fast on your % of my grandson. You are just forgetting somrthing very important my Wife is for sure 50% of my son and we are assuming that i have the other 50%.
But never forget that this is just assuming the only one that knows for sure who is the father is the wife and in some cases she even won't be sure of who is the father.
But i will take the assumption that i am the other 50%.

congratz pinotte for both "winnings",especially that you got grandchild !as I see everybody have luck to spend less shots then I and to hit right combination for 200 shots and not like I to spend 800 and hit nothing!
Depending on whether you are the attributed father to the mother or to the (attributed) father of the child, we can do an EV calculation (using 11% for convenience):

Congratulations on both the birth of your grandson and on opening the safe. I am sure you will use the money wisely. Diapers are costly I am told. Have a great day amigo be cool
Congratulations on both occasions! Of course being a grandpa will always be sweeter than winning anything anywhere anytime so I wish for a good health and happy days to both of you! Hope you'll get some unforgettable memories with the little fella.
