Default V Power Cards

Anyone know what the statistical likelyhood of winning a ferrari day is with the V Power cards?

I put 15squid in and got 6 packs near Clapham. Guess what nothing.....

I got about 6 packs, got a full set of cards, but that's no use whatsoever.

I've filled up twice .. the first time I got about a dozen packs.
The second time I only got 6 or so ..

I've already got all 24 cars, twice over. Still looking for the Shumi one.

There was a guy on PH who collected all 24 and thougt he'd won ..

I filled up on the A1 in North Yorkshire on Sunday afternoon. I asked the woman behind the counter if she had any cards to issue.

"Oh Yes" she said and gave me over a hundred packs, I could hardly carry them. Spent all Sunday night opening them and guess what!!!

I didnt win, what a waste of feckin time !!!!

I wonder if they'll be worth anything in years to come.

Well if MucDonald's happy meal toys are being tipped as future collectables then I don't see why not

To answer the original question wouldn't we have to know how many "schumi" cards actually exist and how many cards are in circulation.

I'm guessing this is probably like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the 6 Golden Tickets...so I think the chances of winning anything are roughly about the square root of f'all.

Aren't Shell legally required to publish the names and addresses of the winners once the "competition" is over?
