A casino in Michigan is hoping that the allure of winning a pony car in one of their giveaways will draw customers, but it may be a lot easier to pore over classifieds and auction listings for used Ford Mustangs in New Jersey.

Four Winds Casino is raffling off two Ford Mustangs on October 24, as part of its efforts to use prizes to bring in clientele that have included $185,749 in payouts in the month of September. Thing is, you have to play to win, and that can be expensive.

Many economists and mathematicians find that there are bad odds for players of most casino games, so it may be more expensive than one thinks to have a shot at a new Mustang at Four Winds. On the other hand, if one can find a used Ford Mustang in New Jersey and secure financing, it’s a 1:1 chance.

Drivers who choose to go used may be winners in another way, as reviewers at websites like Cars.com gave the latest-generation Mustang high marks when it was introduced in 2006, both for the new design cues and the refined feel it offers on the road.
