Weekly Token Prize Round-Up 1/29/15

Have you checked to see how many times people have won a prize? In The Transformer (Oct 7 - Apr 6) #(48785) I know that 4 people one twice, and one person won four times...

I think there's too many hidden factors that go into it to be able to draw anything more than anecdotal information. I get the sense (from how many prizes are awarded) that more people do token weigh-ins on weeks where there is also an end-of-round weigh-in because it's easy to count them for both. So in the off weeks there's a smaller pool of players and a greater chance of a repeat winner. But there's no way to know how many people bought tokens, how many people enter in a given week, and thus what your actual chances are. It's a random draw and the fact that people do win more than once in a game proves that out to me. Beyond that, I haven't cared. You can glance through the games at the Weekly Prize winners and see how often it happens. Not really that often.

Also, I just looked at the prize winners for the Oct 7 game - there are no duplicate winners in that game so far. Every winner has only won once in that game.
