Absolutely right! The pool gets diluted with older entries!3

I tend to look at it from the perspective of having more entries than many others who only enter once or twice, and therefore have a better chance than any one other person. However, I do agree that there will be many more overall entries the longer the comp rolls over; I guess it would need statistical analysis to determine whether an entry every day for the rollovers has a better chance than a single day entry with no rollover. Makes me more optimistic at least and that's all that counts since quite frankly I doubt lightning will strike twice anyhow!mjm3346 said:
You probably don't increase your overall chances of winning as the number of daily entries will almost certainly rise as the prize grows so slightly reducing the overall chances of each individual entry.4 -
