The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
There is no maybe about it. They have advertised that there will be (10) 1 million dollar prizes, even if only one ticket is sold. If they renege on paying out (10) 1 million dollar prizes, it is false advertising at best, and fraud at worst.

Arizona lottery retailer employee sued after buying $12.8 million ticket knowing it was a winnerReply

Just someone on the far fringes of decent society looking to grift. A perpetual ne'er do well. And he will play

So if you find a winning formula, it's considered fraud?Reply
none of the ever changing and ever multiplying components of your story amount to fraud. just a really convoluted tale of somebody taking way to many steps to purchase a lottery ticket. it only takes about one minute and two braincells to buy a quick pick.
