    What Are the Odds of Success in This Promotion

    I believe it is free to entry this promotion, but you have to get 5 correct to win a prize. You will have 17 tries over the NFL season.

    Here is the promotion.

    HOW IT WORKS

    ENTER FOR FREE
    Enter before the start of NFL Week 1. Don’t forget to make your picks before Sept. 11 at 1 PM ET.*

    PICK 'EM
    Make five weekly selections against the spread all season long.

    WIN BIG
    Enjoy millions in prizes of weekly bonuses, and compete for a top finishing position to win big!

    The fine print.
    *This contest will run for Weeks 1-17 of the NFL season. Contestants shall earn points by correctly selecting the winner of NFL games based on the point spread for that game. Each correct selection is worth one (1) point, and each incorrect selection is worth zero (0) points. Contestants may make eighty (80) total selections over the first seventeen (17) weeks of the 2022-2023 NFL regular season. Contestants may make five (5) selections each week of the first seventeen (17) weeks of the 2022-2023 NFL regular season; however, each Contestant must make no selections for one (1) week over the first seventeen (17) weeks of the 2022-2023 NFL regular season (the “Skip Week”). For purposes of this Contest, a week of the NFL regular season runs from Wednesday to Tuesday. No selections may be made for week eighteen (18) of the 2022-2023 NFL regular season or for the 2022-2023 NFL Playoffs. Once a Contestant has made five (5) selections in a week, they will not be able to make additional selections for that week. Similarly, once a Contestant has made eighty (80) selections within the first seventeen (17) weeks of the 2022-2023 NFL regular season, they will not be able to make additional selections for the remainder of the Contest. In the event a Contestant makes more than five (5) selections in a week or more than eighty (80) selections in the first seventeen (17) weeks of the 2022-2023 NFL regular season, the additional selections will not be counted. Contestants will not be able to make fewer than five (5) picks in a given week. In the event a Contestant makes fewer than five (5) selections in a week or fewer than eighty (80) selections in the first seventeen (17) weeks of the 2022-2023 NFL regular season, the Contestant shall not be disqualified, but will receive zero (0) points for the unselected games. For example, in the event a Contestant makes five (5) selections for fourteen (14) weeks for a total of seventy (70) selections, but makes no selections in any other weeks of the Contest, those weeks for which the Contestant did not make any selections will be treated the same as if the Contestant made five (5) incorrect selections in each of those weeks. All picks will lock on 1 P.M. ET Sunday, with the exception of any games that start prior to Sunday at 1:00 P.M. ET, contestants may make or modify their selections up until the start time of the selected team’s game. This Pool will payout in DK Dollars.

    My thinking on this promotion is it's like flipping a coin 5 times and getting heads on all the flips. Picking the spread is basically a toss up.
    I used this calculator to determine the odds of winning at least once an it looks like about once in 25. Do you agree with my analysis.
