Yeah good chances too.
$10 ticket has odds of 3.39... not bad. Only two $2m prizes....
I misread this thinking you meant the grand prize odds were 1 in 3.39 million. Understood now that you said the overall odds.
Though it isn't what you were referring to, the grand prize odds on this are 1 in 4.32 million. Worse than everything other than $10 Cash for Life. I realize the grand prize odds on any game are ridiculous and it would all come down to luck regardless, but if I remember right, the Holiday game's grand prize odds have been getting progressively worse every year.

Your correct. But overall I think may be a better option then some of the other $10.

Well bought a book of $10 and $5 holiday bonus. $540 and $145 returns. Definitely say the $10 ticket is better than the $5... got 3 $100 winners in the book. Plus the bonus thing actually happens on the $10 tickets... the $5 was like one in 60...

So it hadn't occurred to me, but it makes sense now that I saw it, but one of the symbols can appear in the bonus number box. Had a double symbol ($5) on a $10 HB for a whole $10.

They had to make the odds more difficult to win the top prize because they are paying for the second chance promotion. Here are the odds compared to last year's game. I highlighted the only difference in prize payouts in yellow (the difference is relatively minor for the $100 and $40 prize tiers).

Thanks for that, but no sailing waters cold
thought it warm but these baums an bogs dont appeal.
Probably we'll stick to the 50x (just a few prizes left or maybes 1)
an the monopoly $10 ticket..should be due for another. I said it before I'll say it again..cripy potato fries fried chicken or grouper sandwhich..where in the creature is the 10k a week for life prize? technically, we do not teck but the prize if math was rigth an order of the day would be around book 504k books our in the 580+ range here . did swamp bog lions treat get tricked an threw the winnign ticket away? or now how..we must wait till the next one, which if math is the leader, says its around the 650k-680k ahhhh it's been 7 months an counting since last jackpot was claimed. what a shamed.

The 10k a week prizes are really odd. Basic stats say one should have appeared in the 300k range but it didn’t.. honestly I think one has been destroyed....
