Is this common or has it happened to you?

Never happens,like winning the lottery.
Happens all the time.
Very Rare but has happened to me.

I guess in GA with ~100 entries everything can happen.

Once i won 2 GA with ~1000 entries in 1 day. :D

From the same person tho? these were public GA's i just like to make them 1 hour long so that entrants have better odds of winning:)

One answer:

Everyone has equal amount of chance to win so....... there's also chance that someone will win both of them, all they need to do is hope that the universe is on their side.

In my last lot of GAs (nearly 50, all told) 3 people won 3 games each...and they weren't especially low-entry GAs either, all of them had a few hundred at least

I'm one of the most unlucky folks here, participated in more than 1500 GA's ( counted last week but will now be around 2000 GA's )
And i got the following:

  • Overture ( i'm so happy with this game, really appreciated it im very thankfull )
  • Payday christmas DLC ( most crappish luck wast )
  • Fortix ( just crap )

Now you will say: You are the one that participated but i thought the PD DLC was nice, and that fortix was a nice game, but than i played it lolz

Chance to win each of these 5 GAs was:
0.0064
0.0085
0.01
0.01
0.0041

So chance of for someone to win 2 of them was:

(0.0064*0.0085)+(0.0064*0.01*2)+(0.0064*0.0041)+(0.0085*0.01*2)+(0.0085*0.0041)+(0.01*0.01)+(0.01*0.0041*2) ~= 0.0006 = 0.06%

It is small but considering hundreds of thousands of users and hundreds of GAs that happen here daily it's bound to happen quite often. For exampe user had greater chance to win 2 of your 5 GAs (0.06%) than winning a public GA with 2000 Entries (0.05%).

haha true i guess, but there are also the odds that he would still be signed in here 18 hours after winning one from me and then have the points to enter another one from me or desire the game being given away:)

I once won 2 public giveaways from the same user at the same time. Both giveaways had more than 1000 entries.
It happens, but the odds are insane

odds of winning 2 1000 Entries GAs are insane - 0.0001%, but in this case odds were way higher - it was 0.06%, so more than your chance to win a public 2k entries GA :>
