Is there a way to determine the probability of winning a particular sweepstakes with only the following information:

-the estimated odds of winning are 1 in 13,000

-contestants must be owners (property holders) within the corporation running the sweepstakes and the total number of owners is 222,600

-each owner can enter the sweepstakes up to 6 times

-there is one grand prize and three runner-up prizes

    What does "estimated odds of winning are 1 in 13,000" mean? Does it mean 1 in 13,000 per entrance? And does it mean the odds of winning at all, or the odds of winning the grand prize?2010-10-23
