Michigan Lottery again to offer $50 Super Raffle ticketsReply
I might actually buy one this time. I highly doubt it will sell out in less than 3 days though. The last $20 raffle had 625,000 tickets and it took them 11 days to sell them all. I think we are getting over raffled..but I could be wrong. Brad

DC Raffle Sales...Not Too Good!Reply
The DC Raffle sales end tonight at midnight eastern time. I bought a final ticket today (I have 7 now and kind of regret not buying more) and the ticket number was just under 40,000. With a total prize amount of $1.25 million, the game has not done well at all, even if the numbers hit 45,000, which I seriously doubt. So we will see how it goes tomorrow..at the least some scratch-offs, t-shirts and breakfast! And the odds are not bad really for a lottery game!

DC Raffle Sales...Not Too Good!Reply
No, I'm saying that someone posed a question in an OP asking us what we thought of something. So I answered (before you ever posted in the thread). You, not liking my answer jumped in like the Waffen SS and stared raging on me. So I put my opinion on the table and you give me and everyone here the rah rah raffle viewpoint. That's your viewpoint, mine is very different and I have just as much right to it as you do yours. but you didn't even surface with yours til I had posted mine.

True, but the odds on Mega Millions and Power Ball are much worse. The ticket price is very high and tough for many to swallow I agree. The DC Raffle $10 price is better, but they have a lot fewer prizes. I guess I am trying it because my scratchoff luck here in MD has fallen to near zero.

Only one more piece of info, the D.C. Raffle tix are $10 apiece, so if you spend $20 you get 2 chances at a million and 2 free P4 tix! Can't get any better than that. There is no way they can sell this one out it'll be better than 1 in 100K odds! P.S. The powerball lines are already starting!

Engineer reported bad Tenn. Lottery computerized drawsReply
You know what this reminds me of, Superman III. In the movie near the beginning, the Daily Planet had a raffle for a trip to South America. It was called 'Jingo', a simple mechanical ball drawn machine with a number inside the ball. The objective was to match 4 different numbers. During the picking, Mr. White says, 'Could we get a computer to do this?' Later near the end, they did get a computer. It blew-up during the draw; smoke came rolling out... lol... I can just imagine seeing this going on

Ticket Price Increases
Right now, price points for non-raffle on-line games do not go higher than $2 per play. But with inflation, players getting peeved with loooooooong odds, and an insatiable appetite for ginormous jackpots and/or top prizes, there could be higher priced tickets for regularly drawn games on the horizon. My question is, how much are you willing to spend on a single play of a regularly drawn, on-line game?

Hoosier LotteryReply
I do stand corrected. The Hoosier Lottery raffle at this rate might ACTUALLY be the best chance to win a million as long as they dont pull any funny business and pick all the numbers they said they would. At this rate I cant see them selling any more than 100k total of these tickets out of the 325k. Which means you have a 50k to one shot at hitting the million and a true one million to one shot per dollar. But would you be shocked if the lottery itself wound up buying all the remaining ticke

What Would Be An Ideal Lottery?Reply
A hundred dollars for 1 ticket? My gosh...If is 100 dollars for 1 ticket is then not a lottery but i think a raffle..I don't know this people are not realistic when they set the price of 1 ticket at 100 dollars..Such price is only for a selected few in society that can afford it..Then they say that i am not a realistic person but look who has the price at 100 dollars a ticket...I mean if it was part of a clan i understand, something like a secret society..This people are not realistic that peop
