O.P. What Is Your Chance of Winning in The Contest
Well, I've done a small calculation.
Very simple method, the picture your trying to click has an almost size of 700 X 765, meaning the total number of pixels is around 535,500
The maximum number of prizes is 45.

So, 45 pixel are the only pixels out of the 535,500 other pixels that contains a gift.

45/535,500 = 0.000084

Meaning, if you want to know what is your chance out of hundred to win,
it is 0.0084 out of hundred.

For those whom already won, you where very lucky ;)

For others playing, now @ the moment, the prizes are 33,
So the chance is obviously lot less, Good Luck.

You're wrong. The picture is 701x766 so your chances are significantly less.

Indeed, you are right, I forgot to include the 0,0 Pixel.
So, lets calculate again.

701 X 766 = 536966

Chances for 33 gifts
33 / 536966 = 0.000061

Chance out of hundred = 0.0061

Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
Wish you all happy clicking, & BTW, according to the SODA thing mentioned in the instructions, am sure you will need a lot of it.

Yeah, but that's still wrong - because you can click as many times as you like.

But with any click, that's your probability of winning. Ofcourse now there are less prizes though :p
