the instructions are wrong, you have to use the first option for Sweepstakes 1 Ticket
A raffle has 1,000 tickets. You buy one. Your odds on that ticket are 1:1,000. Guy next to you bought five tickets. His odds on each of those tickets is 1:1,000. He just has more chances, same odds.
This promo from Coca-Cola did not have a set number of entries. Say 10,000 play and each entered 25 caps. 3,500 prizes makes the odds 1:71.4. Apply "More entries makes your odds better" and all 10,000 enter 30 caps. Odds just went down to 1:85.7. The only way to "make your odds better" is to have more prizes or less entries.

All we December babies got was a SAC code!

My Brother won with 31 caps entered.
All we December babies got was a SAC code!
But as a December baby, I can tell you I won the $100 Visa for that month's b'day sweeps.
That said, not every December baby got the offer to enter the sweeps. Once again, Coke made an offer available to only chosen accounts.
An aside... baseball season is in full swing with coke:

Yes, the guy who bought five tickets doesn't change the odds on each ticket, but his overall odds on the five tickets just went from 1:1,000 to 5:1,000. So he has, in fact, increased his odds. By a factor of 5.
And while we are being pedantic, a raffle doesn't have "less" entries, it has fewer entries. ("Entries" is a count noun, not a mass noun.)

I'm going to stick with "Increased chances does not = increased odds." The example's odds did not go from 1 in 1,000 to 5 in 1000 - the chances to win the 1:1000 prize went from 1 to 5. The odds weren't increased as they never changed from the 1:1000. Just like a scratch off ticket that says "Overall odds = 1:500,000". Just because you buy 10, your odds don't change from that 1:500,000 - you just get yourself more chances. Lottery pushers would love to add the print "1:1,000 -- But buy 5 and your odds improve" but they can't, because they don't - the odds are set.
The "less entries" I'm lost on but thanks for the new word!!! Probably won't use it though!!
