The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
I'll be getting fewer tickets going forward, because I definitely think that the best shot at winning something was in the first round. Before awareness spreads, and before the million dollar fever sets in. I think that sales will increase as people come to find out about the raffle. Winning something meaningful enough (the prizes between 5k and 100k) won't be as easy . The million dollar draw odds aren't bad for a big sum, but it's still a shot in the dark. The tickets are pricey for still

Probability of winning with multiple ticketsReply
If you hold two tickets for Pick 2, betting on 37 as well as 65, your odds of winning are 1 in 50. The calculation is 2 [number of distinct bets you have made] divided by 100 [number of possible outcomes]. 2 divided by 100 is 1/50. 2/100=1/50=0.02=2% Don't know how else it could be explained better! But it looks like some here just don't understand why a 2% chance of winning a game with 100 outcomes is a 1 in 50 chance. Hopefully explaining how buying 10 chances gives an actual 1 in 10

A lot of people (maybe even most?) don't even realize that odds aren't the ratio of the number of chances compared to the number of possible outcomes Thank You ! Finally, somebody that understandz whut Oddz really meanz ... Written in Arial Black , not Tucker Black .. -Stat$talker

Each ticket is a 1 in 300M chance to win. It doesn't matter whether two tickets were bought by one person or two different people. Each ticket is a 1 in 300M chance. If you buy two tickets (different numbers) then you have a 1 in 150M chance of winning because you are holding TWO TICKETS. Each ticket alone is 300M but you have TWO of them. 300M divided by 2 is 150M. If you buy a third ticket, your chances of winning improve to 100M. Not 75M (half of 150M), it's 100M because you have thre

Never did this beforeReply
I don't understand how you can fail at such simple math. 1) In what alternative universe do you live where 1,221,759 divided by 5 is 38,719? 2) If you wanted to bring your odds down to under a million you don't need to buy 11 lines. Just 2 would do it.

$10M Mega Millions Win!Reply
You cut the odds in half each time you double the number of unique combinations purchased. I've tried off and on to teach coin toss how 3rd grade fractions work for perhaps 15 years or more, but the concept is apparently too difficult. I even tried suggesting considering what would happen if you split the Mega/Power ball choices into odd and even sets and bought one ticket with an even ball and one with and odd ball, thinking it was so simple that a 6 year old could understand it, but appar

It looks as if the $5.00 MM ticket is doing poorly.Reply
People who play littery games play for fun, for recreationn, and to hopefully make as big score. THEY DO NOT PLAY to lean lessons in accounting. You're the one posting drivel, not me. Hater huh? Aren't you just woke and pc. I'm wondering if you do play any lottery games at all since you seem obsessed with things lie a 5.3 cents factor. Try using some original thought instead of posts convoncing peole that the odds and prpobabillities of people wining are so out of reach that they

Wishing you luck on the draw. The $20 price is steep for me, lol, but given the $1M prize and the 1:100,000 odds, I think it's a risk worth taking. I would have taken that risk if I was in Florida. $630,000 after taxes is a decent win.
