Lottery Post's guide to 2025 holiday raffles across the USAReply
Well, without putting it quite like that, I don't understand why every lottery doesn't have a holiday raffle every year. For example, my home state of New Jersey has the raffle one year and then doesn't have it again for several more years. Yet, it sells out every time they do have it. I wish state lotteries would explain themselves for the obvious money left on the table. At the same time, hats off to Pennsylvania, which in my view has the perfect raffle every year.

I have 4 Michigan Super raffle tickets :) looking forward to the drawing in a couple weeks. Looks like we are going to have a little break on the odds since most likely this will not be a sell out with such slow sales. I also have 10 Idaho holiday raffle tickets. And after spending the day in Yellowstone I am currently in Montana ready to buy my Raffle tickets first thing in the morning before they sell out. Good luck everyone on your raffle purchases Cheers!

$1.3 million Jersey Cash 5 lottery jackpot unclaimed for almost a yearReply
JustMaybe, You just pushed the idea I have had for years into at least second place... I have always believed that *all* unclaimed funds should roll over into other Special drawings with much lower and more reasonable odds than PB MM until it was won *and* claimed. Daily? Weekly? Monthly? Holiday Drawings? By each State or Nationally? There would be many details to work out. I believe that the unclaimed funds should go to the buying public that furnished the funding in the first place.
