Would You Spend $20 On A Raffle Ticket?Reply
I would have to say no or probably not. I think my limit is $10 bucks for one ticket. We have a raffle going on here right now, and for the past couple of years, I have gotten some tickets, but I don't think I am going to purchase any this year. Twenty dollars, just seems too high of price for a ticket.

Only 109,999 chances I won't win a million? - Here's my $20! - Gimme a raffle ticket!Reply
As of today (11/18/09) at 7 AM, my state has only sold 42,762 in 5 days. They don't even seem to be selling 10k tickets a day. I'm impressed that they were able to sell out so quickly during the July raffle (all tickets sold in 11 days), because at the current rate, they won't even be able to sell all of these by the end of December.

Ohio New Years Raffle Starts November 20th!Reply
I tried spacing them out the past 3 years they've had the raffle but never won anything so I figured this year I'll change it up and just play it all at once and see if I can get 13 numbers in a row and see how that works! Hopefully I'll win something but you're right, the lower tier prizes don't really amount to much. I figure if I can even win $500 then I'll at least cover my expense and be up $240. We'll see!

I just checked my state's lottery site, and as of 7 AM today, so far only 10,841 tickets out of the million available have been sold. I haven't seen them advertising the raffle on tv too frequently yet, and I guess more people will buy when they do their Sunday shopping, but it seems like this one's going to take a while sell. Most likely won't be sold out by Thanksgiving

Thanks for the heads up recoveryroad. I'll be down there in the Ft Lauderdale area around Thanksgiving. Hope they last that long. Not sure I understand the $50,000 prize allotment (didn't read the details) but I'll definitely buy a ticket for a shot at the million. Good luck!

Multi-state lottery shockwave sweeping AmericaReply
How do you figure? Raffle is still best odds for a million. Not familiar with powerplay but doesn't sound right. odds of winning won't change

Multi-state lottery shockwave sweeping AmericaReply
It would be nice to have options but not a gamechanger for me. What I really want to see is a multistate raffle type game like the El Gourdo one in Spain where there more winners with better odds sharing smaller winnings. That how you really hook them in because somebody will know somebody who won and words will get around time and build a buzz for the game and make it once a year like xmas time.

The Illinois Halloween RaffleReply
So yeah I bought one ticket.....didn't win. But I thought it was worth a shot. I'll probably buy a couple more during the next raffle. I really feel like Illinois lottery should take some hints from the Michigan lottery, there raffles are great; with much better odds.

Your Opinion is needed please!Reply
It seems to me that not too long ago an ordained minister won $200,000 from the Multi-State Powerball Lottery, and what did he do with the winnings? He re-invested it into his Church by making some repairs and the like. And I've regullarly heard of Churchs having a raffle drawing or bingo games in order to raise cash. Aren't raffles and bingo a form of gambling? I personally don't see anything wrong with it, as long as one keeps the right priorities.
