I got two in today's mail (one for me and one for a prior resident) and the
odds have gotten (very slightly) better: here's the breakdown:
     50% cards    0.6%    8,280
     40% cards    0.6%    8,280
     30% cards    1.0%    13,800
     20% cards    2.0%    27,600
     10% cards    95.8%    1,322,040
     total cards     100%     1,380,000

My two were 10%. Other fine print: there's a $500 limit.
