Unfamiliar with the event , unfamiliar with Soccer(Our Football is not Futbol').
Will there be one shot a day? Or is the number of shots dependent on other things?
The Short FAQ did not address this.

Looking forward to this Event. Also looking forward to amazing misconceptions about probability.
EDIT after the event thread summary.
No where near as much fun as the 2016 Easter Event Feedback Thread. Random whining, some arguing, few people displaying a lack of understanding of probability.
Most substantial complaints were about the interface (OK key on top of buy keys) and the cost of some of the prizes. A lot of complaints about the Event being boring. There were a lot of spinoff threads, mostly whining.
A good number of people liked the Event and did well in scoring their prizes.
Some good jokes. jaelis stole the thread with this gem (post 157):
"It certainly is frustrating when people don't give you enough of the free stuff that you want, I agree."

2 questions:
Is the Golden Chest opened when you select it or is it an item that goes into your inventory to be opened at your leisure?
For the rotating rewards, can you get as many as you can afford during those 6 hours or can you only get it once per 6 hours?

There is a shot bar, similar to the fp bar, that holds up to 11 shots, 1 shot added per hour if the bar is not full. You can get shot packages (of 5 shots each) from quests or if you win them from the golden chest. You can also buy shots with diamonds, of course. ;P
The Golden Chest has several prizes in it, you win one of them when you choose to buy it. Those prizes do not vary. 3 buildings (Soccer Field, Grandstand, Bleachers), SoK, Reno kit, Watchfire, 2 Obs bps, or a shot pkg.
You can buy as many rotating prizes as you can afford.

The example given in the "I've done the 20% shot 5 times, but did not win Cups. Are the chances wrong?" question is, itself, wrong.
If the odds of winning something is 20% per shot, and you take three shots, then the odds of winning *nothing* are the odds of missing the first shot (80%) *and* missing the second shot (80%) *and* missing the third (also 80%). This (0.8 x 0.8 x 0.8) is 51.2%, so the odds of winning *something* (on either the first, second, or third shot, or any combination of them) is 48.8%.
What all that means is that, if you really do do the 20% shot 5 times, you have a 67% chance of winning *something*, although only a 20% chance on each shot.

When the example says "If you do 3 shots, the chance will not change to 60%, it remains 20%." it means that the chance of winning on your third shot is 20%. That is correct. As you say, if you decide up front to take 3 shots, your chance of winning something in at least one of the shots is about 50%.

From the announcement...
How do you do this?

WHAT IS IT WITH THE BIG BLUE PLUSATING ARROW...HERE RECENTLY ON EVENTS YOU SEEM TO THINK THAT WE HAVE TO BE DIRECTED TO THE EVENT BY THESE BIG BLUE ARROWS...STOP IT!!!!
DeletedUser8152
At least this time it goes away immediately after you take one shot. I can live with that.

Hit the "Double Chance" button and pay 20 cups.

When you win a shots package where does it go?
Also, is a 1 shots package... 1 shot or a set of 10 shots?

Shot packages are stored in inventory, they are 5 shots each.

Well I just did the 20% shot 10 times and won nothing. So there's that.

For some odd reason you felt the need to use a Huge, Bold, Bright font to make your point. Perhaps, you made FOE's point for them... just sayin'

My 20% shot guy has a seizure every time over the ball. Not 1 in. Yet on 5% hit, 10% hit.

He's playing for the penalty call

This has to be the absolute WORST Soccer player in the history of the sport. He appears to have some kind of seizure when approaching the ball. He couldn't make the shot without a goalie and the goal net twice the size. I understand changing the percentages of scoring but let's get realistic, I real football player would never miss his shots so wildly or consistently. Relax the percentage algorithm slightly and give us all a better chance of making a goal especially when we appear to be standing right in front of the net.

If you disable the animation you might feel better.
