Taxes
I'm a member of a large group that have been playing for years. When the time comes and we win I know a tax attorney and accountant is suggested. I have read a LLC or of sort will be needed to claim the one check prise. My question is......... I know the Florida lottery collects 24 percent before issuing the check to the LLC and the LLC will distribute equal checks to each member. Now each member will be taxed again. That's double tax in my opinion. Can each member get a tax credit for what was

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
... whether or not the Florida Lottery will cut the number of winners from 10 down to a lower number due to lower sales is another thing altogether. The snip below is from the Raffle Prizes page. Looks like they only need to sell 1 ticket to award all prizes! Now that's a business plan!

Rising Gas Prices and the LotteryReply
Periodically I deliberately stop playing for a while. (Could be for a month or so) It really doesn't have so much to do with the economy as much as it does me. I intentionally do it so that I know that I'm in control and not the lottery. Right now, I stopped playing regularly a couple of weeks ago. Because Florida has a raffle going on right now, (ends July 2nd) I'll probably pick up a ticket in May, or maybe in June. We'll see. G5

89 second prize winners for the powerballReply
I would say most winners are self picks if your state lottery powerball play slip was organized with 5 rows of numbers per ticket for the white balls for an easy pattern to play. Lots of Keno players play patterns so not unusual. Someone should tally all the state powerball play slips that won and see how many have 5 rows of numbers for easy pattern play. Look at Florida Powerball play slip which is the anti play slip for pattern selection with lots of rows for white ball selection.

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
Bought a ticket yesterday...two clerks in the same store weren't familiar with the raffle! What's that all about? How does it work? My ticket number was 144,5XX. I dunno... looks to me like The Florida Lottery has some work to do if they want to sell even a million tickets. G5

The only good thing to come out of Florida was Tom Petty. If it didn't have so many black hearted people, it would be a beautiful place.

Probability of winning with multiple ticketsReply
Each ticket is up against the same odds. Take your theory to PB and MM level. Consider that for every drawing those who play do not realize they are all part of one humongous pool. We'll use odds of 300,000,000 to malt it easier. So if the first ticket is up against 300M and the next ticket is up against 150M, etc. somebody will have twin. Oh, wait, many drawings go by with no jackpot winners. Gee, how can that be because Tucker Black said..................,Go to the Florida lottery website and
