State Raffles. What are your thoughts on them?Reply
I see your point in terms of bang for buck and hard to argue from that perspective, but... Lotto (6 #'s) is 1 in 20.3 million odds for a shot a generally several million... Little lotto (5 #'s) is approx. 1 in 575,000 odds and rarely ever get JP's beyond 500-600K (although lately with 2x draws the pot has gotten larger faster) Raffle is approx. 1 in 500,000 odds for a shot at a million Raffle odds are you're best shot at winning any significant cash prize in the lottery... You co

If the tabloids covered lotteries...Reply
Six different players all have the same winning raffle number. State lottery says since this can't happen they will cancel that number as a winner and use a different one.

Illinois Lucky Day Lotto adding midday draw in JuneReply
Got my ticket this morning it shows midday on ticket this is the game I mostly play, I play 10.00 every day now its gonna be 20.00 the ez match in my opinion is a waste, the odds of winning 500.00 is 1: 210,000 give me a break, take that dollar buy a scratch off odds way better.

What to do with megamillions?Reply
They should keep the odds and the price but offer a raffle for small prize like $10,000. The winner would be randomly chosen. Raffles would increase sales. Increased sales would increase the jackpots.

Who saves up their previous 6 months of winnings for times like this?Reply
If I relied on my winnings to pay for it, I'd be lucky if I could buy a single ticket. I'm debating whether to buy a St Jude's Dream Home raffle ticket, or go all out on this draw. Better odds for St Judes. Better pay off for PowerBall.

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
I hold on to my losing tickets in a box for tax purposes in case I ever win anything substantial. 90% of my losing tickets have 14 on them, so pretty much if you see the number 14 it's a loser. Bought a Mother's Day ticket when they first came out and held on to it to put in a card for my mom tomorrow. Guy in my area won the $50,000 on that ticket. I was shocked because no one ever wins the top prize on a scratch off in this area. Other than to put in cards or getting a ticket with change I've c

Have you ever won lottery special promotions?Reply
I was only six numbers off in a raffle to win a Fabio tote bag one time in 1974. So there's that.

Have you won a big JP?Reply
From what I've read, the majority of active LP members want to remain anonymous so I doubt they would want to go into detail about their jackpot win. I sort of doubt a poll would produce 100% honest answers either. We had a member claim they won $1 million in a raffle by purchasing their ticket on the last day, but none of the $1 million winning tickets were sold on the last day. When that was pointed out, they never posted a follow-up explanation. But there is no harm in asking or starting a

EuroMillions 22M Jackpot.
Just bought my ticket, haven't bought one since that big 110M one but thought I would try my luck. 5 Lines and 5 Raffle Entries to win 1M. Hopefully next week I will be on the beach somewhere nice with a ice cold drink.
