Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
When I logged in to Michigan Lottery, I had a promotion pop up saying if you buy $10 in Mega you'll get 5 free Lotto47 tickets...lmao. Give away some free tickets after the Lotto47 jackpot was won and reset...

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
I won $7 on double play last night. The only Mega tickets I'm getting in September are the ones I get free by playing Powerball. Glad they started that promotion when the jackpot is so high.

Idaho started a promotion for the entire month of September. Buy at least $15 of Powerball on one ticket and get a free Megamillions. Can I assume that's because MM sales are lagging and they're trying to get players into the habit of checking tickets on Tuesday and Friday?

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Picked up my tickets for the week MM 4x then 5x. Maryland apparently has a promotion. I won 4 dollars worth of cash pop or whatever it's called tickets. Should have instantly threw them in the trash. Computer draw garbage. Had a dollar left over. I usually just get a voucher. But I was feeling froggy. So I bought a pick 5 ticket from a number I used to play when it was ball draw for the evening draw. The mid-day draw was 4 of the 5 numbers I played...... But that's enough rambling on for me for

Yes, those are definitely correct entries at Lottery Post (I made them myself), and it was a legit promotion. Below is a screengrab from a promotional video at the time. Many times lotteries neglect to include bonus draws in their drawing histories. Here is Lottery Post's news story from 2009: https://www.lotterypost.com/news/198232

DC 5 Lottery needs to be audited immediately. The same thing that happened to Tennessee in 2007Reply
Interesting this Singles Only event just happens to occur during a promotion going on in April. The Singles Only event began 2026-03-30 Evening Draw and has not picked any other box sets since. My Scammy Senses are Tingling.

Probability of winning with multiple tickets
In this thread we will discuss how to calculate your odds of winning a draw game if you buy more than one ticket. Any lottery's website gives you the odds, but that is for one ticket. When you buy more than one ticket, you can calculate your odds of winning simply by dividing the stated odds by the number of tickets you hold. Let's take, for example, a Pick 2 game. Even if your state's lottery doesn't operate a Pick 2, if they operate a Pick 3 and let you bet on the front pair or bac

People think gambling is risky.Reply
I agree. Taking chances in life has zero to do with gambling $. It sounds like you are trying to justify spending perhaps too much money gambling. Playing the lottery is for entertainment purposes only. Taking chances is about getting that education, going for that promotion, investing for retirement, getting off your behind every day. I can afford to spend a lot on the lottery but I do not. A.$5 megamillions ticket is not for me. Playing my $1 state cash 5 game when it is high is a good

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

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
I have my doubts that 2 million tickets can be sold considering the time of year The Florida Lottery is running what they're calling 'a promotion'. The Pennsylvania Lottery's Millionaire Raffle ticket selling window is during the fourth quarter of the year. It gets a nice boost in sales during Christmas when people gift raffle tickets. The maximum number of tickets that can be sold is 500,000 and for many years The PA Lottery has had no problem selling all 500,000 tickets. The Florida Lotte
