Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
Played some more yesterday, ironically, after I said I should stop. Bought 3 of the $5 christmas tickets and hit one $5 winner. So out of 7 of the $5 christmas tickets... two hit for $5 each. What I probably will do, is buy one millionaire raffle ticket now each friday until the drawing. Scratchers are dead to me.

Florida Lottery Holiday Millionaire RaffleReply
Ron, you couldn't be more correct if you had to be. Yes, money can do strange things to people, especially large sums of it. I saw it happen in my own family when I was The Executor of my late mothers estate. I never ever thought money could or would come between any of my family members, but it did. The lawyer for my mother's estate said he was not surprised at what went on. He said he'd seen that type of thing many times. As for driving to Florida, well, it isn't feasible for this particul

PA Lottery Proposed Play at Pump Will Accept Credit CardsReply
Normally, the merchant pays the fee, which can range upwards of 4% though can be low as 1.5% or so for big chains, such as Wawa and Sheetz. Presumably, that's much of the reason lottery retailers don't accept credit cards, since that cuts deeply into their ~5% lottery commission, or even eliminate it for small purchases due to the flat transaction fee(s) that's also usually charged. Also, credit card processors often discourage acceptance of cards for gambling purposes. However, some lotterie

Idaho Raffle Adds Instant Win ComponentReply
I just thought of a way a retailer could game this instant win. Our state website has a countdown of tickets sold that's updated very frequently. It looks like every minute or two. A retailer could keep checking and when it gets close just keep printing tickets until the 25,000th one is sold. Maybe their machine would be the one to print it, maybe not. Then they could do like they always do with mistake tickets. Put one in the machine and sell it to the next person who wants a raffle ticket.

Take5 NYReply
G5 ... don't give up on the Mass-Cash yet. Play your NY game but maybe pick one or two sets of numbers that you wouldn't change ... and let 'em ride. I have three sets of numbers that I play in PA off and on with the Treasure Hunt game ... depending on the jackpot size. Not hitting anything but if I had played them in MA with Mass-Cash ... I would be winning some nice money. About three weeks ago I had 4 out of 5, just missed $100,000 ... also just had 3 numbers again this week and last we

How LOW can ILLINOIS Go -- Pretty LOWReply
Informed my wife I am going to Wisconsin to buy my Tickets from now on. As far as I am concern, an I.O.U. is just a means to let you know that they owe you some money. It is not a guarantee that you will ever get paid............... Let see, taxes will be coming up in a few more months, and if I owe anything, I will send them an I.O.U. as a good faith message........... I am sure it will make the national news by tomorrow morning or should I say Later on today...........................

Take5 NYReply
money is tight .... the story of my life. Well for the record, and what it's worth, I aint zackly been doin' too good on Mass Cash. I roared over there, blew 90 bucks to play Mass Cash for a month (3 lines for 30 days) and now I cant play T5. (Well, I could, but I aint cuz I promised myself that I wouldn't) That said, I got my eye on The Pennsylvania Millionaire Raffle that is set to go off on Oct 31st. I'm gonna buy some tickets for that, but they don't count cuz I was gonna buy 'em ev

Discovery - New PA Raffle Game ChangeReply
I bought a ticket late this morning and it was under 110,000 and it was over when you bought one. I bought a ticket on Sep 30th ... so in 6 days they have sold just over 27,000 tickets. That's not bad for 6 days ... if that continues every 6 days and sales also pick up in the last 3 weeks ... they might get to 300,000 tickets sold, at least to have money for all the prizes with a small profit. There may be many people waiting for the last two weeks and also from out of state. Let's hope

Anybody Playing El Gordo This Year ?Reply
I figure the states have plenty of games already ... my idea was a huge tax free jackpot with tickets sold all year ... run by the Federal government ... no state lottery terminals involved. A drawing in December ... tickets with a reasonable price ... the government getting their tax money up front ... buying tickets at any Post Office ... can't be any more simple or easier ... it's all in my first post. People that have to have action on a daily or monthly basis would play the state lott

Illinois State Lottery Report Card !!Reply
Yeah CT, check it out... NBC News Chicago ran an article on it. I don't know if I can post links here... People should be outraged, this is absolute bizzaro world now. The state should NOT be permitted to sell tickets anymore until this is resolved. It's been nearly 4 months now- ridiculous!!! They just started selling tickets for a raffle game... ANOTHER game they most likely won't pay out! Some state representative got interviewed and said the exact same thing and was planning to p
