Update on the "Win a Triton Router Competition" you might have "half a chance to win"

[barrysumpter]

Just spoke to the receptionist at Triton HQ here in Melbourne.

About 1700 individual entrants so far. Today.
Expect about 2000 by Friday.
And thats worldwide and not just Australia.

At the moment there is no way to tell how many ticket numbers are going to be in the draw.

Hopefully by Friday avo I might be able to get a more accurate number of actual tickets.

And not just individuals.

As some individuals would have purchased enough Triton equipment to qualify for 5 or more tickets.

If my calculations are correct,
I believe the best case scenario is 50 out of 2000. Which is a 2.5% chance to win.

And the worst case scenario is if everyone entered 5 times. 50 out of 10,000. Which is a .5% chance. Or you got "half a chance to win" ???. http://ubb.ubeaut.com.au/ubb/wink.gif

Which is a far better chance than buying lotto tickets.

Thanks for the numbers Barry.

I (should) have five entries. I have the router, but it would really nice to get my money back.

Hi all,

Just followed up again.

A Triton Representative estimated 7000 tickets in the draw.

So maybe some mathmatician can calculate the odds on 50 prizes.
