The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
Florida Raffle 2026: What are the odds? The return of the Florida Lottery Raffle certainly caught my eye. I have thought about the raffle in years past, but did not realize it had been 20 years since the last one. It looks like they have re-vamped the format (multiple drawings instead of one drawing, multiple million-dollar prizes, all tickets purchased valid for all drawings.) But I am curious as to how they have calculated the odds. Now, I have played the Florida Lottery Jackpot Trip

Holiday Raffle!Reply
My wife and I got about $100 in scratchers to do around Christmas, then took the $50 we won and bought 1 PA raffle ticket and $30 in scratchers. The raffle ticket brought nothing and I still have $16 in winnings off the scratchers to turn in. Will I buy another raffle ticket? Yep. And I'd have bought more this year but when I checked, it was sold out.

New York- The Million Dollar Raffle
New York Lottery held a raffle-style drawing the concluded on October 26, 2025. Buy-in was $20/ticket and the game was advertised as the best odds to win $1,000,000; as the following indicates, those odds got remarkably better for those that played. Reportedly, only 791,352 of the planned 2,000,000 tickets were sold; this was over a many month marketing campaign. Apparently NYL took a bath as there were 15, $1,000,000 grand prize winners, 15, $100,000 second prize winners, 15, $25,000 third plac

Lottery Post's guide to 2025 holiday raffles across the USAReply
Just updated the guide with Maryland's raffle! I did see the press release about it launching today, but I was not sure if there was an announcement about it earlier since I originally did not find anything about it in my research. Interestingly, the last time Maryland had a raffle was back in 2007 , which had 420,000 tickets for sale and offered four $1 million top prizes. Yay for Maryland for getting a raffle again!

Florida' Jackpot Triple PlayReply
Just to add to your comment about JPT's true odds... When I lived in New York, I was located close to The New York Pennsylvania border and I'd go over to PA and buy raffle tickets. In The Fall, PA holds their millionaire raffle which they say carries odds of 125,000 to 1. On paper, that's correct. They sell a maximum of 500,000 raffle tickets and select 4 winners of one million dollars. But I always had trouble with how they advertised the odds. (I bought the tickets anyway because it's stil
