contents The article explores the asymptotic behavior of the expected number of drawings in the Coupon Collector's Problem with group-drawing under the uniform distribution. In this variant, each draw consists of a package of $s$ distinct coupons selected uniformly at random from a set of $n$ coupons. We focus on three regimes of the package size $s$: (i) constant $s$, (ii) $s$ proportional to $n$, and (iii) $s$ "very close" to $n$. For each case, we provide precise asymptotic expressions for the expected collection time.
