The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
Got anther Raffle ticket when I stopped at Publix today. Over 4500 tickets have been sold since the Lottery put out their most recent sales update. Maybe Saturday is the hot Raffle-buying day! Anyway, I walked up to the lottery counter, and said I'd like a $20 Raffle ticket. (I always mention the price, because if I don't, diligent clerks ask if I know that the price is $20.) So the clerk says which one? I say the Raffle ticket. And she's like which one? and looking over at the scratch-offs, lol

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The Mega Millions jackpot increased by $13 million to $163 million after 11 rolls. There is an estimated 1.6% chance the Mega Millions jackpot will be won in the next draw. The jackpot is now fully funded from sales and starting to increase by more than the minimum $10 million. The Powerball jackpot is still slowly catching up to the Mega Millions jackpot. The Mega Millions jackpot is $45 million larger than the Powerball jackpot. A week ago, it was $64 million larger.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The Mega Millions jackpot increased by the minimum $10 million to $120 million after 7 rolls. There is an estimated 1.5% chance the Mega Millions jackpot will be won in the next draw. The jackpot is underfunded from sales by about $17 million. Even though the Powerball jackpot was recently won and started at the $20 million amount, it is slowly starting to catch up to the Mega Millions jackpot. Further proof the Powerball game is continuing to win the race.

California Lottery accidentally publishes winner's address instead of retailer's in press releaseReply
* This isn't the first time they screwed up. Back in 2012, they swooped down onto a store demanded footage of the sales of the day to find the jackpot winner posted their faces on TV. * They seemed to have forgotten that a winner had a year to come forth claim their prize, not less than 2 months after the win. I seriously thought these errors were a thing of the past. Will probably hear ( New Staff) excuse.

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
Well, I'd rather no computer randomizer be used, but I can't do anything about that so I'm here for however this goes. Update on the data, today's sales are in the low 4,000 range. Maybe it'll chug along slowly until before the million draw.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The Mega Millions jackpot increased by $37 million to $533 million after 27 rolls. This sets a new 27 roll record for the current format of the game; an increase of $13 million over the previous record. There is an estimated 2.6% chance the Mega Millions jackpot will be won in the next draw. The larger than normal boost in the Mega Millions jackpot was due to an increase in interest rates. Sales are not projected to increase for the upcoming draw despite the much smaller Powerball jackpot at

This is the second time in several rolls the Mega Millions jackpot did not set a new roll record for the current format of the game. It was shy by $1 million in tying the record. There is an estimated 2.5% chance the Mega Millions jackpot will be won in the next draw. The Powerball jackpot was won in the previous draw. It is expected this will give a boost to Mega Millions sales resulting in more Mega Millions

Arizona lottery retailer employee sued after buying $12.8 million ticket knowing it was a winnerReply
Most stores close their cash registers at midnight, and any unpaid tickets are written off with that day s sales. Those stacked tickets are stapled to the cash register printout and placed in a box. So how can those same tickets be sold again the next day? It sounds like Circle K has no system in place, and the employees know it.

Are there no drawing videos for Millionaire for Life?Reply
Drawings are held in Des Moines, Iowa. I could not find any link to watch the drawings on either the PA lottery site OR the official Millionaire for Life site. Not sure how having no draw videos is going to help sales... glad I skipped the opening draw. All of the day drawn games in PA are computer generated, they still take the time to produce the animation for each draw.
