That's not particularly good logic. It's probably roughly a 50% chance to be a 10% discount, 25% chance to be a 20% discount, 15% chance to be a 30% discount, 9.9999999% chance to be a 40% discount, and a 0.0000001% chance to be a 100% discount.
And a warning: As stated in the original post, you won't know what discount you got until you've already bought the item(s).

I got an Origin discount code today, which is valid until the 1. November and only for US or Canadian customers.
They say it's a "surprise discount", which means you will get either a 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% or even a 100 % discount, but I guess you won't know until checkout.
If you're interested and really want to use this code, then leave a reply. I'm gonna check back in a couple of hours and pick a random winner.
Here is the legal mumbojumbo, which was included in the email:
10% - 40% off: Offer expires on November 1, 2011. Value of discount will be deducted from product list price at time of purchase. Valid only for new purchases of up to 5 games ("product") from the Origin store at www.origin.com. Excludes pre-orders, games released within 30 days of your purchase, virtual currency and Game Time codes. Cannot be combined with any other offer, gift card, rebate or other discount coupons.
