Given that: it takes no less than 1 second to type a random number and post the comment; the probability to guess is 1 over 1 million; even a builder can make more than 3.6k/hour; given all this, the payout should be greater than at least 10 times as much (i.e: 1M) to make it worth the time (and it was a very conservative best-case-scenario estimate).
