An insider from Zynga recently explained the odds to me (both payout and chance of winning) and while I promised to keep the formula a secret, I can tell you that only a small portion of your personals are used, while the larger portion is a crap shoot...

The best advice I can give to everyone is to increase personal att / def skills with skill points, and that a vault bonus (such as the trophy collection) can be extremely helpful in the case that the portion used that is considered a "crap shoot" is extremely low!
