Lottery Post's guide to 2025 holiday raffles across the USAReply
I have 4 Michigan Super raffle tickets :) looking forward to the drawing in a couple weeks. Looks like we are going to have a little break on the odds since most likely this will not be a sell out with such slow sales. I also have 10 Idaho holiday raffle tickets. And after spending the day in Yellowstone I am currently in Montana ready to buy my Raffle tickets first thing in the morning before they sell out. Good luck everyone on your raffle purchases Cheers!

True, but not really a holiday raffle game. (Which is why it's not in this story.) The drawing for Super Raffle 2025 is November 19. There are currently just over 162,000 tickets remaining.

Uh-oh! I lied! ONE MORE POST and then I'm positively definitely without question DONE posting! Although I've no idea where you maybe located in New York State, if you live anywhere near the border with Pennsylvania, then each year during October, November and December, Pennsylvania Millionaire Raffle tickets go on sale. I was located about 75 miles from The NY/PA border, and when those raffle tickets went on sale I beat it over to PA as fast as I could to buy some. They carry 125,000 to

New York- The Million Dollar RaffleReply
New Yorkers do play raffle games... except they do it in Pennsylvania. New York's border state of Pennsylvania has been holding their Millionaire Raffle for more than the last 20 consecutive years. They sell just 500,00 tickets, ($20 each) tickets sales run from November 4, 2025 to January 3, 2025. Odds are 125,000 to 1 to win one million dollars due to the fact they award four one million dollar prizes. I can't ever recall a Millionaire Raffle drawing where they didn't sell all 500,000

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
263272 tickets sold as of 5/21. Let's work this one from the back end. 640900 tickets need to be sold just to fund all prizes (so, does not includes costs incurred by the Lottery to set up the Raffle, or associated advertising, and does not include funding for education, which is the Lottery's raison d'etre.) 640900 minus 263272 leaves 377628 tickets needing to be sold by June 30, the last day to buy tickets (40 days from now.) 377628 divided by 40 equals an average of 9440 tickets need to

Well, without putting it quite like that, I don't understand why every lottery doesn't have a holiday raffle every year. For example, my home state of New Jersey has the raffle one year and then doesn't have it again for several more years. Yet, it sells out every time they do have it. I wish state lotteries would explain themselves for the obvious money left on the table. At the same time, hats off to Pennsylvania, which in my view has the perfect raffle every year.

Probability of winning with multiple ticketsReply
I too have had 'trouble' with what's being argued so passionately in this thread. When I lived in the Northeast, although I lived in New York State, I lived in close proximity to Pennsylvania. Every Fall The PA Lottery (for what I'm guessing is the last 20 years or more) holds their Millionaire Raffle. According to the raffles official rules, a maximum of 500,000 tickets can be sold. The PA Lottery has always advertised the odds for the raffle at 125,000 to 1 because there are 4 top prize w

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
Does anybody know if any of the top prize winners of a million dollars in the current raffle will be able to remain anonymous? I won 40 bucks yesterday. I'm going to spend it on two millionaire raffle tickets. If I was ever so lucky to win one of the top prizes, I'd want to claim it anonymously, but I'm not sure that can happen. For Florida draw games (Lotto, PB, MM Fantasy5) only winners names of the top prize (a jackpot win) appear in The Top Prize Winners and Retailers Report publishe

The PA raffle logic is based on the number of tickets sold, so if there is a sellout, the odds are correctly stated as 125,000 to 1. (500,000 tickets, 4 top prizes) Now, if there are less tickets sold, only sold numbers go into the raffle... if only half sell, then the possible outcomes are reduced... to 62,500 to 1 (odds) (250,000 tickets, 4 top prizes) They put these tickets that win the weekly $50,000 back in for the big prize drawing, but actually you are correct, the possible outcom
