Every contestant has a 1 in 1296 chance of winning then. And obviously, you have to be selected as a contestant first. The Chiefs have a 10 in 1296 chance of having to pay out. Really, what's the point?

As with any Minor League promotion, the idea is to get people out to the park that normally wouldn't be there. The fans will be there regardless of what promotions are going on. With that being said, teams have to figure out ways to get the others out there.

Of course. I just don't think that a 1 in 130 chance of any money being paid out is going to achieve that.

I think it'll get some fans there. It may be a long shot, but it's still a shot. It'll also give some excitement to the fans there, even if the probability is low. There were several folks at the park in Jackson last night since it was a free gas Friday, with 10 fans winning $100 in gas.

I don't know that the average person is going to analyze the odds of winning as much as you or some others would.
