Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Idaho started a promotion for the entire month of September. Buy at least $15 of Powerball on one ticket and get a free Megamillions. Can I assume that's because MM sales are lagging and they're trying to get players into the habit of checking tickets on Tuesday and Friday?

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Thanks for the update Cape. I haven't heard of any second chance promotion with this game either. If I recall correctly, the other $50 tickets all had second chance drawings or instant win opportunities. I'll pick up a few and hope I can catch one of the $1000 or $5000 prizes. Unfortunately, the $500 prize is about 50% harder to win than the previous tickets.

Thanks and I'll play 444 555 see what happens we definitely got rocked last year and the year before. I missed so many numbers, remember when I missed 1121 straight when they had that red back promotion because I left for New York. Then I missed triple ones mid day shortly after smdh

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Picked up my tickets for the week MM 4x then 5x. Maryland apparently has a promotion. I won 4 dollars worth of cash pop or whatever it's called tickets. Should have instantly threw them in the trash. Computer draw garbage. Had a dollar left over. I usually just get a voucher. But I was feeling froggy. So I bought a pick 5 ticket from a number I used to play when it was ball draw for the evening draw. The mid-day draw was 4 of the 5 numbers I played...... But that's enough rambling on for me for

California Lottery accidentally publishes winner's address instead of retailer's in press releaseReply
It really makes you wonder if it was a mistake or if someone at the lottery didn't like the winner for some reason and did it maliciously and deliberately. Regardless it's California so the responsible parties probably won't get fired and may just get a promotion and a raise.

Florida's Fantasy 5Reply
I noticed the 50k midday even split. The midday drawing is normally underwhelming with a daily jackpot hovering around 50 to 60 thousand. I think a $100,000 minimum is wonderful. There is always a promotion on Fantasy5 if you spend $5. I don't normally spend that much in one draw, but others may.

[UPDATE 2] Thanks to winsumloosesum for tracking down some errors!Reply
Yes, those are definitely correct entries at Lottery Post (I made them myself), and it was a legit promotion. Below is a screengrab from a promotional video at the time. Many times lotteries neglect to include bonus draws in their drawing histories. Here is Lottery Post's news story from 2009: https://www.lotterypost.com/news/198232

Mississippi Lottery halts Cash 3 triple payout promotion one week inReply
Chip P posted the three triples in one month when he was still working for the KY Lottery. Remember the one off option and believe it lasted until the promotion was over. Unlike in Mississippi where they stopped it when finally figuring out it was a really dumb idea.

Mississippi Lottery halts Cash 3 triple payout promotion one week inReply
Darn, I knew it was too good to be true! On the bright side, they weren't as stupid as I thought. They actually had a fund set aside for this promotion, because they knew that the rule change would cost the lottery money. It's like an advertising budget.
