Let X be a random variable denoting the amount of winnings in any given round of the game. There is some probability p of winning where P(X=99,500)=p, while P(X=-500)=1-p, assuming these are the only two possible outcomes. So we have

\mathbb E[X]=\displaystyle\sum_xxP(X=x)=99,500p-500(1-p)=100

100,000p-500=100\implies p=\dfrac3{500}=0.006
