Probably a dumb question, but in a fair game, how can they predict that it will be hit in the "next few days"? Were they just waiting for 48,000+ to give it away? Do they have a counter for the # of games played, and when it reaches a certain game #, it will hit?

Does this mean that the people playing previous to this had a 0% chance of winning the JP? wtf?

And why "must" it be won? Last time I checked, a random game meant just that - it can be hit at any time, no matter how long it takes.
