e. The Prize Pool for a given Workplace and for a given Free Draw may be different to other Workplaces and other Free Draws operating on the same day. The Prize Pool may be shared, in whole or in part, with Entrants who are linked to other Workplaces and across other time periods.

Each Entry into a Free Draw has one or more chances to win a Prize based on the Prize Pool (if any) available for that Workplace, for that Free Draw.  To the extent that the Prize Pool has Prizes available, the number of chances to win for each Entry is at least one, but may be more based on Your usage of the App. The App informs You if you have achieved a chance multiplier of more than one.

b. Prizes from the Prize Pool available to Entrants linked to a Workplace are allocated on a pseudo-random basis using an algorithm which aims to distribute Prizes evenly across each Month.

c. The pseudo-random algorithm takes into account, for each daily Free Draw:

(i) How many Prizes have been allocated already that Month from the Prize Pool related to that particular Free Draw;

(ii) How many Entries are typically occurring each day and how many chances to win correspond to such Entries for Entrants who can win Prizes from the Prize Pool linked to that particular Free Draw; and
