Random is random.

What that means is that all sorts of combinations are possible ... some more likely than others. Someone could win 100 mech bays ... 100 days premium time or millions of cbills ... but the odds are against it.

The point of a random number generator is to pick numbers in a given range with no correlation to the ones that came previously. Some bad random number generators might not be perfect in this regard but the difference is likely statistical rather than something you would notice in 2 or 3 random number selections.

What I am curious about is the prize distribution.

I have seen various amounts of cbills:

112,500
100,000
50,000

Varying amounts of MC

10MC
25MC
35MC
40MC
45MC

GXP

200
400

Premium Time

1 day

Consumables

Improved coolant pod
Priority Air Strike


Out of 34 rewards I have about 600k cbills. and 300MC. No idea how the other poster managed 5 million cbills though I am probably on track for 750 to 1000MC total.

got a mech bay feel pretty lucky. thers only a coulple thousand mechbays given out and god knows there are a lot more players. so a mechbay is pretty lucky to get

[TripleEhBeef]

I was starting to think that. Then I got a mechbay

[Angel of Annihilation]

I have gotten the worst. Lots of consumables I will never use and a few MC usually very small amounts. I have about 20% of my gifts knocked out and haven't broke 500k in C-bills, no mech bays, maybe 150 MC, 1 day premium.

Happy Holidays everyone

I have got a mix of things.... quite a few meaningless ones. Played around 30 matches so far, I got 1 day PT within my first three matches. I didn't get any last event so, yes luckier this time. I haven't got any free mech bays this go around yet, nor did I last time. I have got around 100 free MC, and a mix of Consumables(which I don't use, lol) which I did the last event too, still haven't used them or even equipped them, like ever. I have got 1 free cockpit Item, a lump of coal... (kinda hoping for the Island one) and very little C-bills and GXP. Out of the 30 matches I have failed only 1 to get 30 in normal play, and failed once to get 80 in CW drops. I only have 3 CW drops right now.

Yeah seems they toned it down from the Halloween event quite a bit.

I had 4 mechbays by now, and loads of premium time, items, etc.

[Zordicron]

I have gotten a few MC ones, so thats nice. However, most of the rest(bout half way on the non CW ones) have been GXP and consumables I never use. I would honestly prefer c-bills and flamers to GXP and consumables. I never use GXP outside of module unlocks, and have over 35k banked waiting for module unlocks as it is. If GXP was removed completely from the reward table, i sure wouldn't miss it.

MC is where it's at, because you can use it for anything. Mechbay? Ha, count your blessings if you get one, I think that's the most valuable thing they are handing out here.

[Felicitatem Parco]

I like my Free Airstrikes, because it's like a 40,000 C-Bill item for free... and free is awesome :-)

[kapusta11]

Got 255 MC after 54 games, the rest is trash.

[Pjwned]

I did actually notice that I got more MC and even a day of premium time earlier on in the event, but haven't seen either since then.

I did win a mech bay after the dry spell though and I've gotten decent rewards, and I still have a pretty good number of matches left, so it's all good really.

would be nice to win a mechbay, hell, let me trade in 5 of these other gifts for one. I need it more than I need a lump of coal, or 3 snow globes.
