I eat at Subway at least a few times per week, so it’s always fun when they run some kind of game or promotion. I end up winning the occasional free sub or cookie.
They just started a new Scrabble game that will be running into October. I was poking around their web site and happened to look at the FAQ entry for the odds of winning. Your odds of winning the $100,000 prize is a whopping 1 in 42,492,348,847! That’s right—billion…with a B! The odds of being killed by lightning are only 1 in 2,320,000. The only event with less likelihood of happening, according to this web site, is your house getting struck by a meteor.
So I guess it’s OK to run a promotion even when you have no intention of having to pay out. Very nice.
