Best odds you've failed to overcome

Closed

I saw a thread a day or so ago which asked people to post the worst odds they've managed to overcome, e.g. what is the most entries on a giveaway you've won.

That inspired me to this: What public (can be contributor or non-contributor, may not be group/private) giveaway have you entered and lost, where you actually had amazing odds to win?

Mine is this Magicka giveaway, thus far. Only 99 entrants, myself included. Plus, two copies, therefore I had a 2.02% chance of winning...but didn't.

This isn't an extreme example, I hope to see some though!

EDIT: A good way to figure out your best odds you've failed to overcome is to visit this page and look for either incredibly low numbers of entrants or an incredibly high number of copies.

I was a little disappointed when I didn't win a Dawn of War Franchise Pack with a 1:8 chance of winning.
And then in the same week, I missed it again with a 1:2 chance of winning!!! :P
But then... I got it :D a week later with a 1:19 chance of winning! :D :D :D

I have a few 50% chances under my belt. Don't think I've had greater odds than that yet.
