What sort of data was collected to reach this conclusion?
My own experience is consistent with other posters who have stated their win/loss ratio. I have gotten 2 free sessions in 23 attempts.
The contest rules state they are giving away 60,000 free sessions and that the odds of winning depend on the number of entries. Although there are three options to choose from, it is unrealistic to expect a 1 in 3 chance of winning as there probably will be many, many more than 180,000 game plays.
