Florida Raffle Ticket Sales Booming
They started on Monday and already almost 50% of the 1,250,000 have been sold as of about 4pm today. The tickets are $20.00 each. In my opinion a bargain considering the odds. Good luck to everyone who has purchased one or several. Floridian

I did feel cheated with the annuity also. But if you look at it they are still giving the same amount out as other lotteries. They are giving $5,000,000 of the $10,000,000 in tickets that they sold. They just put it a way to give one extra million dollar winner and better odds. I know Michigan never used to be into the annuity prize but now anything a million or more is an annuity now. I don't know what happened. They sold out of them pretty fast. I bought one the first day last sunday

Florida Million Dollar Raffle Cool MarketingReply
JS9, The aussie raffle lottery is like a 1:7 odds scratcher $2.00 aussie (about $3.50 US) much better than most US scratch games. The MD. raffle started today $20.00 a ticket. I know you know about the machines. In the MD. game there is a new icon on the terminal for the game Countdown to Millions. Here is the sticking point, in this game, if you accidently press 10 tickets for $20 each and press send, you just bought 10 $20 tix, there is no way to back out or cancel the order. Typically

Little Lotto for me, too. I play them all, Little Lotto the most, Pick 4 the least, but when the Little Lotto jackpot is up and I play anyhting else I feel like I should be throwing that at Little Lotto, too. In a Pick 5 game the odds are still astonomical, but you have a feeling you have better chances of hitting it than any Pick 6 or 5 and (MM, PB). There have been times the Little Lotto jackpot has been over $1,000,000. I guess it just comes down to when you play a Pick 5 you

Giving Tips.Reply
I have been reading this thread from the begining and it is interesting to hear everyones views. I also know that I buy a lot of scratchers I have won a lot and lost a lot.I also know from helping out at my friends store that no one knows what is on a roll of scratchers. However , I also would tell people if someone was going to buy a ticket if it had just had a big winner and leave it up to them to change their selection or stay with it.I also know that if there is a roll and it hasn't even pa

Store clerk judging you.Reply
If nothing else, this discussion has been enlightening. It sounds like there is as much a science to playing scratch-offs as there is to the daily games. Who woulda thunk it? Whole new avenue to explore! Still glad I don't play 'em though. Odds stink no matter what you do.

Is there a winning system?Reply
As EXCALIBUR suggested, it's not whether your system can win but the number of combinations that it has to pick before it picks a winner, especially with pick3 games. With jackpot games, your odds of winning something is usually better than 1:100 but the payoff is usually one or two dollars, while many pick5 games pay something 1:10 times, usually a dollar. I am looking for a system that offers the most for the amount spent, I can't afford to spend a lot so getting lucky has to be a factor.

Tonight's Mega Millions lottery jackpot worth $75 millionReply
That was Powerball not Mega. Mega was 315 million. Powerball hit 365 this year. Mean while Euromillions with odds 100 million less has broken that twice in just this year in cash value. Amazing what a higher ticket price can do. Who knows what year Mega will break 300 million. Considering that the election is over I wonder if the people running the turkey known as Mega can fix it. I'm sure the states in it would appriciate the higher sales.
