The odds that you got a duplicate out of your 510 tickets is around 0.07%.

Curious, so this is 510 tickets divided among how many players? -- nm - secretslacker Mar 29, 19:29 3
- 65 players. Shares will be 1/510th of prize for every dollar invested. No problem :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 29, 19:50 1
  - :) I wish I had understood the 'share' concept earlier. I would invested more. - Jovian Mar 29, 20:13
