there is also a chance, that you will never win anything ;)

I got ~22.51% odds of you having won anything with 1:1679 odds over 428 giveaways.
1-(n^x) where n = odds of you not winning a giveaway (1678/1679) and x = number of attempts.

If you take the average. But not every giveaway is 1679 entries. I've entered a couple giveaways where there are sub 10 or 50 entries.
1-(product(g1 g2 g3 * ....)^x) where g is each giveaway chance to lose and x = theoretical times won

ROFL, It's called procrastination before Finals XP

EDIT:^^^ my point exactly
Jokes about nerds not getting "gf"s (as you call them) are getting weak because of all the nerd-celebrities out there that are either married or close.
Just my opinion. Weak insult.

Oh relax, he was just trying to be funny. No harm.

The probability to win nothing is (let's call it NOTHING)
NOTHING := g1 * g2 * g3 * ...
The probability to win at least one item is
1 - NOTHING
The probability to win exactly one item is quite ugly already
ONETHING := sum ((1/g_i - 1) * NOTHING; i = 1, 2, 3, ...)
The probability to win at least two items is
1 - NOTHING - ONETHING
and the probability to win exactly two items is
sum ((1/g_i - 1) * (1/g_j - 1) * NOTHING; i = 1, 2, 3, ...; j = i+1, i+2, i+3, ...)
and so on...
TL;DR: Your formula is not correct

gi and gj are going to be the same thing, since this is a fixed set of data, and not infinite. What happens when i is giveaway 400 of 400? J has to be giveaway 1, which makes these values the same.

Based off of the giveaways I've entered, (To give you guys an idea of the kind of giveaways I enter: avg 1679 entries over 428 giveaways [Mostly public, only very recently contributor, a few group])
1-(product(g1 g2 g3 * ....)^x) where g is each giveaway chance to lose and x = theoretical times won
Odds are 56% that I won 1 item, which I haven't :(
31% for 2
18% for 3
9.8% for 4
and 5.5% for 5 games.
Cool story, I know.
