Multiple account usage is always punished with permaban, no matter if you enter giveaways or not.
Look for yourself: https://www.steamgifts.com/roles <- at the bottom of this page you find violations to the TOS and their according penalization.

Just noticed that the gifter for my win with lowest odds was also perma suspended, but I'm sure there are lot's of stories like that. :3

That's amazing!
Especially considering you only entered 3,121 GAs ever.
How does your Luck Per Month graph look like?

Thanks for the GA, Ilan!
Too bad I already own it though...

No if there are 2 winners so your chances are doubled. Just divide the number of winners by the number of participants and this gives you a chance to win;)
For example, 1000 participants and 500 winners 500/1000 = 1/2 = 50%
In my situation This War of Mine -2/4600 = 1/2300 = 0.00044 ... = 0.044%
DST - 1/2560 = 0,00039 = 0,039%:)

DOOM had 14,565 entries, and it was the first and only giveaway of that game I ever entered.
I'm a little proud of winning with such low odds, but I feel terrible about winning that particular game because I didn't realize my computer couldn't run it. By which I mean it literally won't even start. I forget the actual error it gave me, but I looked it up back then, and it's not just drivers or the like; IIRC it's something to do with my motherboard. Every other resource-intensive game I've tried I was able to tweak into submission (even if it meant playing with ini-tweaked super-low graphical settings at an 800x450 resolution), but DOOM made me hit an actual hardware wall. To the other 14,564 entrants (not to mention the one who gave it to me!), I'm so sorry! T_T

This is the one I was most excited about, though. Did not think I had a chance to win. Woohoo! - Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

2,327 was my highest entries, but the giveaway I felt most lucky for was when I won Nier:Automata. Although it was a puzzle giveaway with only 52 entries, I felt lucky because it was a wishlist game for me (and I only have about 15 games in my wishlist) and literally the ONLY time I have ever seen it given away here.

I won a copy of Viscera Cleanup Detail with over 1700 entries, with a win chance rate of .06%
... it's a damn shame I really, REALLY disliked the game after playing it for a few hours.

Hello there! I think there was a thread like this a couple of years ago, but as things may have changed since then, out of curiosity I decided to make another one.
So, feel free to post here which giveaway you won where you had the lowest chances of winning! Mine was Garry's Mod which had 2,283 participants including me. :D
P.S. : By the way, giveaways with thousands of copies don't count because chances are that a lot of people here won at least one of those... :P
