In reality, assuming 5 million entries (the max they were going to allow was 10 million) and the majority of the guesses being between 9500 and 12000, the odds are that each number down to the hundredth place (XXXXX.XX) would be picked by about 20 people. Therefore, even if you get the exact number, the chances are nearly 100% that you will then be in a drawing with many others for the prize. Imagine getting it exactly right and still not winning, that would be a bummer! This will most likely not be a problem for me as my number is around 11213 and that looks highly unlikely at this point. <g>
