The so-called grand prize for this weekend event looks very lucrative. So do you just a have a random chance of getting one? Do you have to do anything specific or qualify for all other possible prizes first? They were a bit vague about that on the event page.

It's random. I had 50 tickets just from pre-orders... didn't even play a match at that point to get one from in-game... got the grand prize from my 6th attempt.

U can positively influence the win chance by wearing no pants.

I received the grand-prize through my Night Gyr bonus chances. I was actually lamenting, just the other day, that I wish I hadn't sold the XL400 from my Kodiak-3. Well it seems the universe saw fit to waste all of my good karma on a virtual engine for a video game I play for 4-6 hours every 2 weeks.

RNG

On this IS account got the GP on just the 12th try.

On my Clan account nada even after over 100 tries.

Also some of the worst... often as a direct result of the best.

That's a bit too quick. You should take your time. It's more exciting that way.

Took me 41.

I didn't buy any of the mech packs that give you free pulls, sadly.

What are these 'Pants', of which you speak?
