That's not particularly good logic. It's probably roughly a 50% chance to be a 10% discount, 25% chance to be a 20% discount, 15% chance to be a 30% discount, 9.9999999% chance to be a 40% discount, and a 0.0000001% chance to be a 100% discount.
And a warning: As stated in the original post, you won't know what discount you got until you've already bought the item(s).

I got an Origin discount code today, which is valid until the 1. November and only for US or Canadian customers.
They say it's a "surprise discount", which means you will get either a 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% or even a 100 % discount, but I guess you won't know until checkout.
If you're interested and really want to use this code, then leave a reply. I'm gonna check back in a couple of hours and pick a random winner.
Here is the legal mumbojumbo, which was included in the email:
10% - 40% off: Offer expires on November 1, 2011. Value of discount will be deducted from product list price at time of purchase. Valid only for new purchases of up to 5 games ("product") from the Origin store at www.origin.com. Excludes pre-orders, games released within 30 days of your purchase, virtual currency and Game Time codes. Cannot be combined with any other offer, gift card, rebate or other discount coupons.

Offer may not be substituted, exchanged, sold or redeemed for cash or other goods or services.
