# How do probabilities work in loot boxes, and what does it mean for my rewards?

When you open a Loot Box, a random number is generated to determine which prize you get, based on preset odds for each item. Let’s say a prize has a 1% chance. This means that, on average, it should appear once in every 100 openings. However, each box opening is an independent random event, so there's no guarantee you'll receive that prize exactly once every 100 tries.

**For example:**

* With a 1% chance prize, the system looks for specific criteria in the random number that gives it a 1 out of 100 chance every time you open a box.
* With a 5% chance prize, it’s 5 out of 100, but again, this doesn’t mean it will appear exactly 5 times in every 100 boxes.

Because each opening is random, prize appearances may vary in the short term—sometimes appearing more or less frequently than the stated odds. While rewards may trend toward their stated probabilities over a large number of attempts, individual outcomes remain unpredictable.‍
