oddpedestrian, I'm gonna be wildly surprised if you don't win anything.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

Oddpedestrian has been an asset to the forum and if he does not win (Its completely random by a 3rd party) I will find something for him to show our appreciation to his participation here.

oddpedestrian only has a 17.1% chance of winning in each drawing (assuming entries aren't removed if they win something). He still has a > 50% chance of winning nothing in all 3 drawings in that case.

Will winners be disqualified from winning any other rounds if they win something in at least one round? Or is it possible, in theory, for someone with >= 3 entries to win all 3 prizes?

Yes, If you win the ALP, You are no longer in the running for the 2nd or 3rd items.

So oddpedestrian's best odds of winning (but unluckiest scenario of winning nothing) occur if lugnuts wins the ALP, curmudgeon wins the Redline, and FJR1300 wins the Passport.

The chance he DOES NOT win the ALP would be (198-34)/198=82.82%
The chance he DOES NOT win the Redline is then (198-24-34)/(198-24)=80.46%
The chance he DOES NOT win the Passport is (198-24-22-34)/(198-24-22)=77.63%

The chance that oddpedestrian wins nothing at all is then the product of all 3 of these: 51.74%

oddpedestrian's chances of winning nothing are therefore NO LESS THAN than 51.74%.

If dragons, GotWake, and coolest35 are the winners instead, oddpedestrian's chances of winning nothing increase to 56.64%. So there is stil a 51.74-56.64% chance that oddpedestrian walks away from this contest with nothing at all (depending on who wins the first two prizes).
@oddpedestrian: you've still got to like those odds. You have at > 43% chance of getting something out of this if it were held today.
