Based on the provided data, here's how you can evaluate whether this game is worth playing:
- Calculate Total Remaining Tickets: Add up all the unclaimed prizes.
- 2 + 0 + 1 + 1616 + 2199 + 1476 + 3279 + 1969 + 42337 = 54,879
- Calculate Total Prizes Initially Available: Add up the total winners for each prize tier.
- 4 + 2 + 2 + 3318 + 4594 + 3063 + 6891 + 4093 + 87996 = 111,963
- Calculate Remaining Percentage for Each Prize Tier:
- Divide the unclaimed prizes by the total winners for each prize tier, then multiply by 100.
- Example for $300,000 prize: (2 / 4) times 100 = 50%
- Key Remaining Percentages:
- $300,000: 50%
- $30,000: 0%
- $3,000: 50%
- $500: (1616 / 3318) times 100 approx 48.7%
- $400: (2199 / 4594) times 100 approx 47.9%
- $300: (1476 / 3063) times 100 approx 48.2%
- $250: (3279 / 6891) times 100 approx 47.6%
- $200: (1969 / 4093) times 100 approx 48.1%
- $100: (42337 / 87996) times 100 approx 48.1%
- Compare Top Prize Percentage to Overall Remaining Tickets:
- Top Prize ($300,000) Remaining Percentage: 50%
- Overall Tickets Remaining Percentage: (54,879 / 111,963) times 100 approx 49.0%
- Analysis: The remaining percentage of top prizes ($300,000) is slightly higher than the overall
remaining tickets percentage, suggesting this game may be marginally more favorable for chasing top prizes.
However, the second-tier prize ($30,000) is entirely depleted, which may lower the overall attractiveness
depending on user priorities.
