The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
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.

Help Me Understand This 😭Reply
I've looked for ticket sales data for Millionaire for Life and can't find it. I think it's safe to say that the ticket sales are far less than PB/MM.

Secrets of a lottery lawyer-Kurt Panouses interviewReply
Actually having two games and letting the players pick may be worse right now. As happens so often, I think this is another case of players somehow failing to understand that the point of a lottery is to raise revenue for the entity that runs the lottery. Maybe MUSL could collect a modest fee from the UK for licensing the Powerball name, but the real money is from selling tickets. Their obvious goal is to gain players so that jackpots will grow more rapidly, because sales are better whe

Looks like the last Raffles were in 2016 and 2017. Go to the lottery homepage, navigate to Media Resources/ Annual Reports and have a look at the sales graphs. 2007 was the year with the highest Raffle sales of any year that had a Raffle. I still think it was the drop in scratch-off sales in '24 that sparked this year's Raffle. Guess they miscalculated the players' willingness to drop $20 per play.

The Lottery hasn't updated the weekly Raffle sales data yet, but I bought a ticket this morning around 11:00, a week after the lottery's last update. My ticket was 2775xx, and the lottery's last reported was 263272. 2775xx minus 263272 equals 14228. 14228 divided by 7 equals an average of 2032 tickets drawn per day this past week. We're 89 days into the Raffle, so 2775xx divided by 89 equals 3118. 3118 times 122 (number of days in the Raffle) equals a potential total sales figure of 38

US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
Right? I was thinking of this. Americans cannot participate any other foreign countries lottery games unless they are visiting the country . Will we be able to play the UK's National lottery ? Or Canada's Lotto Max? Or Australia's Powerball ? No. We can't even nationally play a lottery game through an app like they can with the Euromillions. It seems the Powerball keeps chasing growth despite a of ticket sales. Instead of asking why ticket sales are declining they think price increase or mo

They finally broke that elusive 300,000 barrier! I also bought a ticket today, and compared it to the ticket I bought on Thursday (four days earlier.) The daily sales average for those four days was 2318. So looks like no big sales bump on the past weekend...

Sales would have to increase by about 50% to get the odds of a win to 3%.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
This is the largest jackpot increase in this run and is mainly due to an increase in interest rates. No, according to the worksheet on the TX lottery website it's the 4th largest of the 7 increases since the jackpot was fully funded on 4/28. The worksheet says the largest increase was $8.9 million on 5/8. Here are the actual increase in (millions of) real dollars that the worksheet says they'll give you when you claim the prize: 5.6 6.7 6.7 8.9 8.6 8.5 8.1
