Some players unhappy with UK Lotto game changesNews Story
Loss of Millionaire Raffle rankles Scots The United Kingdom National Lottery is facing a boycott from outraged Scottish players who branded the Lotto game's prize draw an absolute con after lottery operator Camelot changed its rules. Lotto bosses have come under fire for scrapping the Lotto Millionaire Raffle which awarded a 1 million payout twice a week. Since the canceled game add-on was a raffle and not a lotto draw, there was a guaranteed 1 million prize winner every drawing, rather

Largest-ever UK Lotto jackpot has players... angry?News Story
By Todd Northrop In the United States, a record jackpot is cause for celebration and waves of ticket-buying, but in the United Kingdom players are bemoaning tomorrow night's record 42.2 million (US$62.62 million) Lotto jackpot and threatening to boycott the game, according to local media reports. Apparently having a jackpot won frequently is more important to Brits than the size of the pot. Tomorrow's record 42.2 million jackpot is the result of a record 10th rollover. The reason for th

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
I first went into a very busy Circle K at lunch time. It's new and was recently opened. Big mistake! I was at the tail end of the line and the clerk motioned for me to go to the head of the line. So I said excuse me and walked past guys who had been in line prior to me even though I had absolutely no idea why she called me to the head of the line. I asked for a millionaire raffle ticket. She looked at me and said A millionaire raffle ticket? To which I simply said Yes . She l

... whether or not the Florida Lottery will cut the number of winners from 10 down to a lower number due to lower sales is another thing altogether. The snip below is from the Raffle Prizes page. Looks like they only need to sell 1 ticket to award all prizes! Now that's a business plan!

Rising Gas Prices and the LotteryReply
Periodically I deliberately stop playing for a while. (Could be for a month or so) It really doesn't have so much to do with the economy as much as it does me. I intentionally do it so that I know that I'm in control and not the lottery. Right now, I stopped playing regularly a couple of weeks ago. Because Florida has a raffle going on right now, (ends July 2nd) I'll probably pick up a ticket in May, or maybe in June. We'll see. G5

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
Bought a ticket yesterday...two clerks in the same store weren't familiar with the raffle! What's that all about? How does it work? My ticket number was 144,5XX. I dunno... looks to me like The Florida Lottery has some work to do if they want to sell even a million tickets. G5

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
My state had a raffle last year. I enjoyed playing. If I was close to Florida. I would definitely buy a ticket. The live drawing seems good to. My state it was computer generated i think...I am confused by how many tickets they sell versus pay outs. Mabye I'm reading it wrong. But anyways.... Good luck if your playing. And have a great day!
