10000 Bytes 40%
25000 Bytes 10%
50000 Bytes 5%
100000 Bytes 2%

42 of them will win 5000 bytes
40 of them will win 10.000 bytes
10 of them will win 25.000 bytes
5 of them will win 50.000 bytes
2 of them will win 100.000 bytes
1 of them will win 250.000 bytes


(42 x 5000) + (40 x 10.000) + (10 x 25.000) + (5 x 50.000) + (2 x 100.000) + (1 x 250.000) = 1.560.000 bytes

So, our guy spent 10.000 dollars and got 1.560.000 bytes in exchange
If he had spent 1 dollar he would have got 156 bytes in exchange
Furthermore,If he had spent 6.5 dollars he would have got 1000 bytes in exchange


I think this is a nice feature to have. More money,no loss guaranteed. However if HF itself sells bytes for 6.5$ per 1k average then the marketplace is going to drop down to at least 5- 5.5$ per 1k.
If the price drops down to 5$ per 1k, then selling bytes in bulk will be about 4$ per 1k or even less.
Having said that, this is going to hurt scratchcards selling in the long term. Why would someone want to buy 10$ worth of scratchcard in order to get back 1000 bytes in average when he can just buy them for 4$ per 1k from the marketplace. So,my opinion is that it's a nice feature short term,however long term,you are probably going to lose more money than you  can acquire now selling these scratchcards.However if this feature is limited edition only,then it's worth for you guys.I am not trying to be a smartass here. I am just voicing out (actually just typing) my opinion. If I did the math wrong and the whole equation is wrong,I am sorry,I feel a bit sleepy
