I am no statistician by any means, but I think it is better than 1 in 996. You might not have any better chances than 1 in 996 for each draw, but because you have a chance to win with each draw, your overall chances to win should be much better.

Hell Toupee
Nope... 1 in 996 is the absolute best you can hope for.
remember your fractions?
5/1000 reduces down to 1/200, but they aren't going to separate the 1000 people into groups of 200 and draw one prize, so the odds will max out at 1/996

That's pretty much what I was saying. Odds for each draw max out at 1/996, but since there are 5 draws, your overall chances to win are better than 1/996.
