The calculation is off. You're never guaranteed a win.
If the chance of winning is 0.3% (and is constant across giveaways), you need 231 entries to have a 50% chance to win, 462 entries to have a 75% chance of winning, 767 entries to have a 90% chance of winning, and 1533 entries to have a 99% chance of winning.
Edit: The other thing that looks wrong to me is that the statistics for the current day. Look at previous days, all the values are between 0.1% and 0.2%. Current day is typically 0.3%+. My guess is that something is wrong because the day is incomplete.
Second edit: So let me repeat the above calculation with a more reasonable value, 0.15%: 462 entries for 50%, 924 entries for 75%, 1534 for 90%, 3068 entries for 99%.
