LOTTERY’S First-ever millionaire raffleReply
Nevermind I was able to scrape up the answer after reading all the fine print. I was right. In the Pennsylvania Lottery s Millionaire Raffle drawing however, the ADM will select winning tickets at random from the tickets sold, and not winning numbers. But that would actually reduce the odds. But for some reason I am willing to bet that all those less than 75,000 tickets are as good as bought.

PowerBall odds for 100 tickets?Reply
Good luck to you this holiday season! (PS- I got a side bet that you'll hit on that raffle!)Thanks, good luck to you and all else who played! That would be awesome if we all walked away with a prize.

Sirbrad- I was glad to see that you entered the raffle! Between my associates and seeing some of the fellow PA onliners here who are in it, I'm going to use the six degree of Kevin Bacon Theory and say that one of these people will hit a prize! My hopes are up that you are one of them! New data shows ticket sales will be exhausted by this weekend! So you got yours in the knick of time!

Maybe the MUSL (Powerball) lotteries could get together for some kind of raffle game. I suppose the different kinds of lottery terminals would be a problem however.

Honestly the powerball does not return crap for me either. So either way is no loss....or actually is. But a shot at a million ($700,000) is still a shot at a million either way. Maybe if I do actually get a decent return from the PB, I will buy a ticket for the raffle.

And it turns out that PA will have a Millionaire Raffle . I never caught exactly how much they're giving away, but it's a $20 ticket, and the prizes are all-cash.

No lottery for N.C. pleases S.C. retailersReply
I'm certain I saw a story earlier this year that said it was illegal to simply posess lottery or raffle tickets in North Carolina although it was an old law which seldom gets enforced.

New Lottery ideaReply
One thing a rule like that would do is stop those out of state players and those casual players who buy tickets and don't check them until they return to buy more tickets. It's almost like selling raffle tickets that requires the winners to be present at the drawing to collect their prize or it given to someone else. RJOh
