Hey, I'm just wondering what the chances are of winning a contest. I mean, I'm mainly going after games I would want to play, and haven't won anything yet. Has anyone here gotten lucky? I've been on this thing for, like, 2 or 3 weeks.

Which he marked as received or we wouldn't be able to see that.

Also, OP some of those games have passed Greenlight already and you should have Steam keys now/soon.

The chances depend on how many entries there are. The formula goes as follows: # of Copies/# of Entries + # of Copies -1/# of Entries - 1, etc. Until # reaches 0. Thank you to whoever it was who pointed it out,

I was mainly looking at the odds of other people winning.

I won once... It was Watch_Dogs on the day of release... But I can't complain about how low the chances are to win games... I mean you're basically getting it for free so why complain really?

I'm not complaining. Sorry if it sounds like it, but guess I was wondering how other peoples luck compared.

We see one of these whining threads almost every day. The other one we see daily is "Why is my CV stuck at $30?" Both topics are despised.

In answer to the OP, you have the same chance as everyone else int he giveaway. That means if there are 1000 entries, you have a 1 in 1000 chance of winning.

TL;DR: Slim to none. Keep trying, and contribute to the site.

well it shouldn't be surprise. even crappiest game has 250 entries which means chance to not win is %99.6. I ain't won something either but can't see why so much complaints around anyway.
