The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
Does anybody know if any of the top prize winners of a million dollars in the current raffle will be able to remain anonymous? I won 40 bucks yesterday. I'm going to spend it on two millionaire raffle tickets. If I was ever so lucky to win one of the top prizes, I'd want to claim it anonymously, but I'm not sure that can happen. For Florida draw games (Lotto, PB, MM Fantasy5) only winners names of the top prize (a jackpot win) appear in The Top Prize Winners and Retailers Report publishe

Probability of winning with multiple ticketsReply
The PA raffle logic is based on the number of tickets sold, so if there is a sellout, the odds are correctly stated as 125,000 to 1. (500,000 tickets, 4 top prizes) Now, if there are less tickets sold, only sold numbers go into the raffle... if only half sell, then the possible outcomes are reduced... to 62,500 to 1 (odds) (250,000 tickets, 4 top prizes) They put these tickets that win the weekly $50,000 back in for the big prize drawing, but actually you are correct, the possible outcom

Holiday Raffle!Reply
Yup. I had my brother who still lives in New York buy some raffle tickets for me. I bought 5 and they cost $100. He and his wife were here in Florida over the holidays and gave them to me. No luck at all, but I'm a raffle guy and I'd buy them again without any hesitation. G5

I think they're doing a raffle as just a way to shake it up and try something different. Raffles do well in other states, so maybe they can catch on here too. I'd think that a first or second time (in so many years) might fly under the radar, but bring awareness to this new way to play after it concludes and later if a new round begins. This round would advertise the next, so to speak, as people who didn't play hear about the winnings. A loss of revenue once isn't a loss if it becomes a spri

Impact of "Free Money" on Lottery SpendingReply
I'm a mental accounting guy myself. Last week I won 40 bucks playing a dice game called Left, Right, Center. The Old Fogies that live around here play it at The Activity Center once per month. They get a group of maybe 100 people sitting around tables rolling dice trying to win the pot . Unbelievable how LOUD those fogies start screaming when they start rollin' them bones. From lookin' at 'em, you wouldn't think they had that much life left in 'em. (Not that I aint an Old Fogie myself or nu

This might not amount to a hill of beans to anyone but FWIW..... The Pennsylvania Millionaire Raffle winning numbers were generated by a Random Number Generator. I would think that'll be the case with the upcoming Florida Lottery's raffle as well. Makes no difference to me. G5

To each his or her own. Twenty bucks a throw is steep. That's why whenever there's a raffle (which isn't all that often) I cut back on the other lottery games I regularly play. That's what keeps me from over spending my monthly lottery budget. My thinking is the 20 dollar ticket price is a premium players have to pay for the greatly reduced odds of winning a top prize, not to mention there's a guaranteed jackpot winner(s). Many is the time I've heard a player say about a raffle Players

Hi Sum Buddy! Nice to see you posting. It's been a while since I've read a post from you! I'd going to ask you a couple of questions.... Did you buy your raffle tickets because you felt that you really could or just might actually win one of the top prizes? Did you buy your tickets because there will be multiple top prize winners on July 2nd? Or did you buy your tickets for both of the above reasons? If so, then you're just like almost every other member of The Lottery Pla

Update from Florida Lottery: 299435 tickets sold as of 6/4. At 96 days in, that averages to 3119 sold per day. The drawing is 26 days from 6/4, and if sales hold around that average, we are looking at a potential total Raffle sales around 380529.

248156 sold as of 05/14, so only six days instead of seven between sales updates. That averages to 2625 sold per day for the past six days. Seventy-five days into Raffle sales, the average sold per day is 3308. If the average stays in this neighborhood for the entire 122 days of sales, we're looking at somewhere around 415,000 tickets sold.
