Probability of Winning Per Day is not calculated correctly

Open

It seems that Probability of Winning Per Day is sum of all chances to win entered GAs instead of using correct formula because it shows 100% even if there is no GA where I am only entry.

More info: https://www.statology.org/probability-of-at-least-one-success/

In other words:
Let GA1 have probability p1, GA2 have p2, and GA3 p3. All GAs are ending on same date. In that case Probability of Winning Per Day should be calculated as:
p = 1 - (1-p1) x (1-p2) x (1-p3)

As far as I know it is calculated correctly. Is it possible that you have entered a giveaway with more than one copy?

It is, but probability of winning in those GAs are less than 0.05.

Is the probability per day original SG code or altered by ESGST or so?

Looks ok to me.
There is one ga where you have 100% chance of winning (one or less entries per copy).

You are right. Now I've noticed there is one with 100% chance. Thanks.

We had a similar doubt in the past, and BIG BOSS CG shot us down completely. :D
