Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Played through a bunch of lotto today, and overall got my ass kicked. I'm going to try the new Holiday tickets on Tuesday, but after that I'm going into lotto hibernation with the exception of maybe buying a few holiday raffle tickets. The pictures below are my highest wins from today, but do not let them fool you. I'm definitely in the negative by several hundred bucks after playing through almost 3 books, and a bunch of random $25 Misfortune tickets (which absolutely wrecked my wallet

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
For some of us, when it rains it pours. I got zipp on my 3 millionaire raffle tickets as well. I think that takes me over 15 raffle tickets total with not one single winning ticket in the last 2 years. I'll play from time to time, but as omiller said it's just not worth it. Yeah people do win, I mean I can throw a rock at the store that sold a million dollar winning scratcher last month, from my house. But it wasn't me, so it may as well have been a thousand miles away. I won

Monopoly Millionaires gameReply
I share your interest or no interest in the tv show. I bought my second ticket last week ... my decision was to wait till the $25 million limit was hit and then cover the game ... decided to play the week before when it was $21 million. I didn't realize that two out of five numbers would give your $5 back ... I had two numbers and one number was one number off ... the famous one number off routine that has cost many gamblers a small fortune ... always in the right neighborhood just on the wrong

Why Only Lotteries rather than Drawings?Reply
Actually I could not find a weekly raffle offered in a state that allows for a big jackpot. Obviously the odds are much better with significant prize amounts. I'm just thinking outloud: Offer a daily raffle at $2 or $5 per ticket and the state keeps 25% of the revenue leaving the following odds and prize amounts with a daily guaranteed winner: # of tix sold 100,000 $375K 250,000 $987K 500,000 $1.9 Million 1,000,000 $3.8 Million 2,000,000 $7.5 Million 5,000,000 $18.8

POLL - State RafflesReply
I've bought several tickets for FL's raffle this year. I'll be happy with $1k, but it seems like this lottery has more and better payouts than some of the other state lotteries listed on this thread. Not sure why they wouldn't be more comparable from state to state if the revenue generated is the same... Weekly Drawing Prize Structure (there are 6 of these drawings and 1 GP drawing) Prize Prize Amount Number of Winners per Weekly Drawing Estimated Odds* First $1,000,000
