Launch odds vs. real odds on GIMME $50K
The odds printed on GIMME $50K were set the day it went to print and they never move. The real odds do, every single day, as prizes get claimed and tickets sell. When the $50,000 prizes get scooped up faster than the tickets sell, the real odds on that top prize get worse than what’s on the front. When tickets sell faster than the big prizes go, they get better. With 1 of 3 top prizes still out there, whether GIMME $50K is worth your money comes down to the odds today, and that’s the number members see.
