Question Regarding The Odds of The Pennsylvania Millionaire RaffleReply
Nope, much like a barrel or hat raffle one number wins one prize that is it. The biggest prizes are all drawn first. 5. Prizes: The prizes that can be won in this game are $100, $1,000, $100,000 and $1,000,000. A player may only win one time on each ticket or chance.

Question Regarding The Odds of The Pennsylvania Millionaire RaffleReply
Before we get into the logic of why we say the odds are as stated, we need to understand the truest sense of what a raffle is. Raffles are similar to Lotteries in the fact they are a game of probability. However, that's where the similarity ends. Raffles differ from Lotteries because they guarantee a prize will be won by someone at the time of selection, Lotteries do not. Typical manual raffles use a ticketing system where one buys a dual ticket stamped with identical numbers; seen b

$1.5 BILLION: Wednesday Powerball record jackpot still risingReply
Yeah we had more PB winners than any state at 16 I think, maybe more by now as that was 3 years ago. But never the huge one. I won $100 on the raffle awhile back buying one ticket. Missed $1,000 by two numbers. Most of the time they are a waste of $20. The game I want to win most if Cash4life as $1,000 a day for life would be all I need, or $365,000 annually which is about $273,000 a year for life. I can live with that lol. Then play the big ones once in awhile still.

POWERBALL CREATES WORLD'S FIRST BILLION-DOLLAR JACKPOTReply
I read that is not a true lottery, it is a raffle with many folks getting some good money. On a side note, went to PB website to view a few states PB amount listed. The website builders will be busy tomorrow updating their sites to fit in $1,300,000,000.00. Some said 1300 million, two others 999 million, and some states were down altogether.

$700 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot raised just hours after initial estimateReply
I'm with you. In addition to the money I would donate to charity id gladly offer up a lottery on here if I won the jackpot. I'd give away two prizes of $1mill each raffle style. I have no idea how this would be done but would ask the lp administrators for help in making it happen. :).

Lottery winner describes his "freak-out" momentReply
His winning ticket was purchased from Maverik at Locust Grove and McMillan in Meridian. This is the fifth year out of the past six years where the top prize winning ticket in the Idaho $1,000,000 Raffle game has been sold at a Maverik location. Hope this is large chain otherwise hmmmmm....

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
Once again no Raffle winner. Would have capped a sucky day. The auto shutoff on the gas nozzle didn't work at Sheetz. Shoes get soaked. At the car wash, I decide to return to tell them. Try to pass a guy on the way home, only to get busted for speeding. As a guy with foot/back problems, I am more annoyed at ruining the shoes and socks.If this is how the new year is going to go, I am done with it. The kicker is I was up at work and could have gotten gas next door when I stopped to BS with the own

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Been having mostly below average luck recently. I am focusing my energy on the Raffle game given I've probably spent about $500 on Super Millions and only have this ticket to show for it. Also, my best win (based on the 1:1,500 odds) was a $1 holiday ticket I received as a stocking stuffer. I hope everyone's luck picks up.

Florida Lottery Holiday Millionaire RaffleReply
Does anyone know if the $1 million top prize is paid out as an annuity? With all this talk about fraud RNG's I am getting somewhat nervous about the possibility with this raffle being compromised as well....I hope I'm wrong about this suspicion. Good luck to all who have a ticket for tonight's drawing.
