guynamedbilly: If you'd like to add my duplicates for statistics sake...

I also got 2 duplicate copies of Brothers, 1 of Armikrog, and 1 of Little Big Adventure 2
I don't think I will add duplicates - it seems like it may be an anomaly or bug as those people who are getting them shouldn't be and, like you, they seem to be getting multiples. Thank you though.
I got Anno 1602 A.D.
Rolled the dice and (ostensibly) lost, alas.
I got Warlords battlecry 3 and Skyshine's BEDLAM Redux!

paladin181: It's random. Theoretically your next one could be the same. But hey. Hopefully you'll get something good.

CalicoPup: From the FAQ:

Can I get duplicates of games I already own?
Short answer: No duplicates! You'll only get games you don't already own.

Long answer: No duplicates, unless you already own every single game available in the Piñata pool at the time of your purchase. If you already have all the games, you'll be notified before checking out and your mystery game will be converted into a giftable copy – this code will never expire.
But several people have reported duplicates despite not owning all available games, unless the pinatas are only containing a few at a time and are on a rolling schedule.
I am tempted to play but I really don't want some shit game like Her Story or anything from Telltale.
Okay, looks like I'm going to get refunds/Wallet credit for the four duplicates I got.

GOG is supposed to look into this, so I'll give them some time and try again tomorrow.
aint nothin on taht list I don't already have or don't want

Some random statistical observations thus far about the Pinata Promo:

Number of titles in the Pinata Promo (discovered thus far): 104
Average current sale price of Pinata games: $7.41
Average (lowest historic price of Pinata games: $6.49

Number of titles that are currently on sale for about $3: 20
Chance to break even (at current prices): 19.23% (20/104*100)
Chance to get a better deal (at current prices): 80.77% (84/104*100)

Number of titles that had a lower historical sale price than $3: 40
Chance that you'll get a title with a lower historical price than $3: 38.46% (40/104*100)
Chance to get a better deal than lowest historical prices: 61.54% (64/104*100)

If you're looking for a specific title, or only like certain types of games and/or genres, then it's probably best to save your money and get those games on sale. However, if you don't care what you get, like to explore new games/genres, or want to get games at a lower average price, then the Pinatas seem to be a great way to go.
5 Pinatas:

Seven Kingdoms 2 HD
Kyn
The Guild 2
World In Conflict: Complete Edition
Her Story
Got Armikrog and Trine EH.

I'm feeling super jealous of the folks getting copies of Tyranny and Thimbleweed Park

Not on GOG, it's not. ;P
That'd be a neat trick if it were true, however.

Thanks for taking the time to calculate and post this, I think it's extremely helpful.

Plus, I couldn't agree more with your last paragraph: if people don't like -- or want -- to take chances; if they don't enjoy specific games or genres, then they're better off not buying a piñata at all: just pick a game from the sale that you *actually* want to play.

This piñata sale seems to be best suited to both people who have a small GOG library and wish to increase it for cheap, and those customers who don't mind trying new things they wouldn't have known about or be aware of otherwise; it's not for those who just "want to be lucky and get that sweet [insert game/genre here]". If you only play games within certain genres -- like I do --, chances are you already own quite a few of the games you might be interested in, to begin with, and it's really not worth it risking the absurdly low % of getting one of the games you would have wanted.

I tried my luck at this, mostly for shits and giggles, knowing I would likely get a game I wouldn't want. I was proven right. But I also bought Stories Untold from the regular sale, to basically offset the fact I would be getting a game I didn't want from the piñata.

Just for fun I'd almost like to buy a few pinatas, but I have so many games on steam that I have a very high chance of getting a duplicate. I'd probably take a chance if I knew I'd get something not already in either of my gog or steam libraries. It is a cool promo though.
