  "account": "Since Fortnite Treasure Hunters started on November 1, fans have been eager to learn the odds of finding the Pirate Shop Access token in chests. Epic Games finally shared the odds, revealing it is a drop chance of 1 in 137,500 chests, or 0.000007273%. The token allows players to access the Item Shop at no cost for two weeks and can be used twice. The token's popularity has led to selling accounts and services to find it, despite it violating Epic Games' terms of service. The token's rarity and value have made it more desirable than the rarest skin, the Golden Golden skin, which has a drop chance of 1 in 1,562,500 chests. The Pirate Shop Access token will be available until December 5, so players have until November 21 and 28 to find it before the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6.",
