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.
