So, being a stats nerd, I’ve been recording some info about each week’s PowerDraw since I joined the forums a few weeks ago. Mainly, I’m interested in the “value” of each PowerBuck spent to enter a drawing, and the chance of winning per single entry.
If you look at the image below, the first 3 weeks of drawings have an average value of $1.03 per PowerBuck spent, calculated as the MSRP of the item divided by the number of PowerBucks needed for one entry. Then, if you look at the current week, where the numbers are in yellow, the average value is only $0.81.
It’s only one week but hopefully, this isn’t an indicator that they think it’s been too easy to win prizes and are therefore increasing the cost of entry.
p.s. inb4 people comment on it, ignore the Win % for the current week which isn’t valid in the middle of the week. I like to recalculate it at the last possible minute before the drawing closes.
