Does anyone know from experience the approximate EV of this play? If I played a few hours of dollar NSUD VP I could earn about 200 more entries per day on top of the 10 given when I swipe my card. Prize pool per casino per day is $25,000 (top heavy prize worth $23,000 plus 5 x $400 winners).
I figured I need a 1 in 250 chance to win with 200 entries for an approximate EV of $100 to make it worth my time. Am I overestimating my odds here?
I need to go look at the rules somewhere!
Oops, meant to say 4 x $500 winners.

You have no shot - the number of free entries alone makes this promotion worse with each passing day as the entries are cumulative.

The free entries are daily only, not cumulative

I wouldn't say he doesn't have a shot. I won in the last drawing that had cumulative entries. Its a long shot but not impossible.
