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 Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
My state had a raffle last year. I enjoyed playing. If I was close to Florida. I would definitely buy a ticket. The live drawing seems good to. My state it was computer generated i think...I am confused by how many tickets they sell versus pay outs. Mabye I'm reading it wrong. But anyways.... Good luck if your playing. And have a great day!

Lottery Post's guide to 2025 holiday raffles across the USAReply
I saw that there was a raffle but didn't know about the early bird options. No promotions about early bird, the ticket I got yesterday doesn't say anything about it either, typical MDLottery. So I got lucky buying early.

Thanks for posting. Kind of a shame that big lottery states don't have a raffle. Do hope that there is a Powerball Rockin' NY Eve promotion again!

It is a very good thing from a players perspective. Where can players find lower odds to win a million dollars? Remains to be seen if there will be a last minute rush to buy raffle tickets. (Hope not!) June 30 is when ticket sales end. Final drawing for 10 one million dollar top prize winners is July 2nd. I have to believe the winning numbers will be generated by a computer. (RNG software). G5

Impact of "Free Money" on Lottery SpendingReply
Just had a thought.... I really do hope I win a million bucks with one of those two extra raffle tickets I bought. That'd really twist some of those old fogies cajones real good if they knew I won a million using THEIR money. Hell, they couldn't stand it when they saw me puttin' those 40 singles I took outta the pot and put 'em in my pocket. Just think how they'd feel if they heard I put a million bucks in my bank account by using their Left Right Center money. G5

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

Holiday Raffle!Reply
While I was living in New York, I couldn't wait for The PA Millionaire Raffle to be announced in October. It was about an hour's drive over to PA for me to buzz across I-84 and buy them. For multiple years I made many trips to PA. I organized a pool and the pool bought quite a few of them. None of the tickets I bought ever won a dime. On one trip to PA, I bought a bunch and decided to sell them to people I knew. I sold one of the tickets to my brother. (I held them in my hand like a fan , a

Numerous State Lottery holdoutsReply
Always thought it was common knowledge if there are 1000 different outcomes, each have a 1 in 1000 chance of being drawn. We both know because of the payoff structure, the desired outcome must be drawn twice in 1000 drawings just to break even. It's similar to a raffle that sells 1000 chances each for a dollar, keeps $500, and pays the winner $500. Most legal lotteries publish annual reports and some show how much was wagered on each game and how much was paid out. Many sell over $1 million
