The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
I'm now the proud owner of one Florida Lottery Millionaire Raffle ticket!! I kinda knew when I went into that liquor store that the clerk wouldn't know anything about them..... I asked for one Florida Lottery Millionaire Raffle ticket as I put my bottle of wine on the counter. Now, because I'm an Old Fool myself, I do make it a point to try and take pity on the old guy behind the counter. We aint got 'em. he says pointing to the scratch offs below the glass top counter. I say I aint

Florida Fantasy-5 PlayersReply
Although I've not written here about wheeling lottery numbers, if you play just the 14 numbers yet to be drawn in June (listed in the above post) then effectively what you're doing is wheeling those 14 numbers. Essentially what you're saying is I think that the five winning numbers drawn during the very next drawing will come from this group of 14 numbers. That's fine, but if just one winning number drawn does not come from that group of 14, then it's impossible for a player to win a jackpot

Lotto Resolutions 2022Reply
More of a nuance to point 1 but how about 'have a budget and plan per draw and stick with it'? My personal plan is as follows: in the U.K I have access to the regular Lotto game as well as Euromillions. Both have promotional draws 3-4x a year. As an example, the Euromillions lottery is only slightly worse in odds than your multistate games, so usually i AVOID it at all costs. HOWEVER!! the promotional draws that take place 3-4x a year add in between 10-25x U.K Raffle winners of 1,000,000 (

Is Powerball just going to rot away?Reply
According to your numbers ... They're not my numbers. They're the numbers of the lotteries and the players, and you obviously didn't understand them. When PB offers another jackpot that's over $1 billion we'll see if anything changes, but right now our best data comes from MM's more recent effort. They came up short, but they told players they were offering a jackpot of $1.6 billion. Not a measly $1.0 billion, but $1.6 billion. And how did players respond to that offer? By spending just

New law would stop Illinois Lottery from selling tickets after top prizes are goneReply
If you guessed losing ticket sales, you're correct. Setting incentive and deceptive advertising aside, there's a simple solution to getting all tickets sold; even the losing ones. Here in Minnesota, we have a second chance drawing for losing tickets. It's kind of like making those losing scratchers, raffle tickets. In a way, all scratchers are really instant raffle tickets, they're dished out sequentially and you know you've won without the drawing. The alternative would be a litt

Florida Holiday Millionaire Raffle 2016Reply
Just took a quick look at the FLA Holiday Raffle page... A few quick differences I saw between Pennsylvania's New Years Millionaire raffle to be held on 1/7/2017 The six Early Bird drawings in PA will each have three winners of $50,000. (Total of 18 $50,000 winners will be produced) Only tickets purchased during certain weeks are eligible. They just had the first Early Bird drawing this week. All tickets sold between 11/8 and 11/14 are eligible. Only tickets sold after 11/14 up until 11/21

Powerball Spending Amounts - Jan 9 2015 DrawingReply
Hey Teddi! I was hoping to win the Euro too, haha! I've been pretty good, there haven't been many good jackpots in the UK lottery lately so I haven't been buying a ticket for any draws but the recent UK change made the Lotto go pretty high so I tried my luck with a 2 luckydip and didn't match a thing nor did I get lucky with the raffle part, figures..... I'm not really sure what the scoop is, I honestly never played the regular Lotto unless there was some type of special

PA New Year's RaffleReply
Not to argue with anyone ... there is NOTHING wrong with the PA Raffle. They have sold 300,000 plus tickets and have all the prizes covered. I am very happy as a player with low ticket sales ... as long as the Lottery doesn't lose money on the game. I am not one bit sad for the Lottery not having a sell-out . I don't work for them nor do I wish to ... if they make a few million dollars less on the raffle, so be it. Why is it so terrible for the lottery player to get a small break every

Hey Piggy! See that #17 popped? That's the 60th time it popped in 2015. I said it wasn't gonna happen but you said your money was on it coming out. My hat's off to you! That 17 coming out 60 times (in one calendar year) is the first time that's happened since before 2010. Notice too that #27 also popped. That's the 59th time it came out this year, and it's tied with #29. Where's your money now, Piggy? You think we'll see TWO numbers hit 60 times in 2015? Three drawings to go in 2015. Eac

Florida Lottery Holiday Millionaire RaffleReply
An instant win component (via separate entry through lottery website for security reasons; retailers can't be trusted) would help drive sales. For many players, the $20 price-point isn't the main issue, it's the long wait for the drawing. In that regard, PA Lottery has the right idea with conducting more raffles, but going about it wrong - 2 months is still too long, and too many tickets being offered. Florida offering 750,000 tickets seems insanely high considering the difficulty of other lo
