How likely are you to win a car from filling out a form at a mall? Who drives the new car home? What are your chances to win another car again?
I am going to get pretty literal here. Please forgive meHow likely are you to win a car from filling out a form at a mall? In the US, at least, this is usually spelled out somewhere on the form or on a website listed on the form. If it is not, you could ask (and may or may not get a truthful answer). If none of this works, you could probably be able to guess using a few factors: * How many people take the time to stop and enter (what percentage of passers-by, multiplied by amount of typical or expected foot-traffic)?* Are multiple entries allowed? * How long will entries be accepted before the drawing? As a rule of thumb, if the odds arenu2019t stated (and usually, even if they are) the odds are probably staggering. If you multiply the amount of time it takes to fill out the form by the amount of forms you would have to fill-out before you had an even 1% chance of winning the car, you would likely do better using that time to get a second job. Oh, and lastly, realize that the reason they are enticing you with the chance to win a car is that they are collecting your personal information on the form. It usually is quite a cheap way to generate a LOT of personal data, add you to mailing/dialing lists, etc. They folks running the drawing often gather another great bit of psychology about you: person who fills out form likes to enter u201csomething for nothingu201d type contests (the drawing itself). This can be valuable to advertisers.Who drives the new car home? By definition of u201chomeu201d the owner (presumably the winner) would drive the car u201chomeu201d. If the car is driven to your house by an employee of the company running the lottery, they would just be driving the car to the winners residenceu2026not their u201chomeu201d.Frankly, I am not sure of what is meant by this question. I would assume that any winner of the drawing would either pick up the vehicle and drive it themselves away from the drawing or other site where the prize was moved to, possibly prepped for delivery tot he winner, or someone would deliver it to the winneru2019s home by driving it or trucking it there.What are your chances to win another car again? Your chances of winning the next drawing you entered would be EXACTLY the same as they would be had you lost the previous one, as specified in item number one. The odds of winning/losing do not change based on previous outcome. Think about it this way: If I just flipped a coin and it landed on u201cheadsu201d 50 times in a row, what are the chances that it will be u201cheadsu201d on the 51st attempt? EXACTLY (assuming there is nothing about the coin or flip that favors one side over the other) 1 in 2 or 50%, just as it was the first flip, just as it will be on the 51st millionth.Now the probability of winning 2 drawings, each with 1 million entries is staggeringly small. But they are two separate events, each governed independently by their own set of probabilities. Landing on heads 51 times in a row or winning 2 cars in consecutive drawings would be matters of remarkable coincidence: respectively 50 1 in 2 or 2 one in a million events happening to share the same outcome.Good luck
