Well if i were them, i'd welcome 5 leader cards, a new hero and all the rest weekly. There is no way the non-winners will ever catch that. So the big will get bigger... faster than any other "normal" player. I like the tickets, and agree most can win more betting, but it kind of precludes anyone from competing but the same people. Those that were close, are farther away now.

(Is monotonicity a word?? Monotony?)
