Louisiana Lottery creates millionaire in raffle drawReply
I wish TN would have a raffle once in a while. But I know The Dragon Lady watches me like a hawk and now that she knows I want a raffle, it'll never happen. Ain't that right, Dragon Lady?

Florida Raffle Ticket $10 with 7 (700,000) PrizesReply
Got my raffle ticket a few minutes ago and currently on 595,xxx range. Also was going to buy a Gold Rush since they just got re-relased with 2 more Top Prizes added. Some guy 15 minutes before me just won $1,000 ticket #009 (they had a picture of the ticket already hanging on the glass wall). It was on the next #010 =( Looks like I was just a tad bit late. Went to another gas station and got a Gold Rush, won $40 =) at least I got my GR $ back and also Raffle ticket $ back

A friend of mind just called and said The raffle must not be selling because the cashier asked me if I wanted to buy one and I said no thank you . Then she saw the sign that said If the cashier does not tell you about the raffle, you get a free sunny money scratch-off . It is worse than we thought. Florida lottery needs an immediate reorganization plan. ...rambling on I was checking some other states lotteries website and realized Florida lottery needs a shake-up. Do you know in New York if y

Guess the FL Lottery is trying to push these tickets. I just heard that the district office in Casslebery (Orlando) is giving away a Free $5 GREEN HORNET scratch off for every raffle ticket purchased. Max limit 5 per person... They are giving away to the first 300 people who buy one there. Doesn't seem fair that they are not doing this at EVERY FL Lottery district office. Id buy all of my raffle tickets there and get a free scratch off for doing it. Heard about this on another Blog I fre

Since there's a few threads about raffles...Reply
Why do the lotteries that put on raffles have to lock up 50% of what comes in? Because they view raffles as just another lottery game. Many state lotteries are complaining about lower revenues and some are considering leasing their lotteries. They could use raffles as promotional tools giving the players 75% of the raffle income and still make a nice profit. Having that type of raffle 4 times a year would entice players to spend some of their winnings on their other lottery games.

That, and the PowerBall's huge jackpot is attracting all the random players to buy Raffle tix since they are buying PowerBall also....Did you notice the Fantasy 5 tonight? 3 winners at $98,809 each....That was $294,000+ in total. That is alot for Fantasy 5. The jackpot is usually at $215,000-$255,000 on average. Im thinking sales this weekend are higher, solely because of people trying their luck on Powerball. Ill be buying another Raffle tomorrrow too =) Good luck everyone....Ca

Oregon Lottery draws St. Patrick's RaffleReply
Are the state lottery raffle drawings making a comeback? It seems that the raffles were popular a few years ago when they first emerged. Then, they seemed to decline after many states had trouble selling out all the tickets in a timely manner. Does anyone know if the state lotteries have started to structure these raffles any differently in order to make them more viable? If so, what have those changes been? I'd actually like to play a lottery raffle in my state from time to time. I think

I agree, Also may be wise to spread them out also. Some from beginning, middle end...Just keep track of how many tickets are left so you get them before sell out. This raffle will sell out. The main reason the raffle did NOT sell out last time is because they were $20 bux. The lottery listened to the players this time and make them only $10 bux per ticket GOOD LUCK

Not bad at all! Considering these are most like cash option only, you will end up taking home more than you would on a $1 Million dollar scratch off prize. Count me in. I think I will get a bunch this go-around. Also, if I remember correctly, the last raffle, all of the winners were drawn from the beginning middle of the sales. None from the last couple hundred thousand that were sold. I know its random, but was just an observation. I'm going to space my tickets out. Will buy som

Hi Everyone...Need help with our Lottery Club in FloridaReply
I run a pool at my office and every 2 weeks(payday), the 13 members put in $4 and I buy a mix of Powerball and Louisiana Lotto tickets. I roll back small prizes into the pool for more tickets. Last year with the Millionaire Raffle going on, we won $10 on one round and I polled the membership to see if they wanted to buy a raffle ticket and the majority said yes. If we win enough this time, I'll do another poll and do the same if the majority agrees. The numbers I use are a combination of n
