Why did Mia get 5 $ and the rest 0 $ when everybody put in 20 Tickets?! Can someone please explain ?,(reply>), Because it was a raffle. So only one person can win all the prize money. The tickets decided the probability of winning. So since everybody put in 20 tickets they all had a 20/100 (1/5) chance of winning. Mia just happened to be the one that won. And Mia only won 5$ because the price was divided by the amount of total tickets so 500/100=5.,(reply>), 500÷100(20 tickets, 5 people) is 5 dollars. 1 person gets the prize.
