2017 PA Millionaire Raffle With Six EARLY BIRD Drawings!Reply
Hang in there Scratcher!! You aint dead yet! I haven't been remotely close in the Early Birds either. You might be interested to know that in the previous years that PA has offered the millionaire raffle, there has always been a HUGE rush to buy tickets about a week before the drawing. Ticket sales (per day) go from about 2,000, to 8,000 to 10,000 per day. Now that in and of itself doesn't mean very much, but if you took a look at the top prize winning ticket numbers, you'd have seen that ab

Florida Holiday Millionaire Raffle 2016Reply
You are correct on the top prize. In fairness, the lower tier $500 prizes are easier to win on the new GR game. But the $1M Raffle prize has one huge advantage, the $1M is $1M lump sum. The GR is a 25 year annuity or a lump sum of $745,000. That means that the Raffle is worth $255,000 more than the GR $1M prize.

Would you continue to play if you won MM or PB?Reply
I know Brad Duke does because his name was on a winner's list for the annual lottery raffle a couple years ago. If he's buying raffle tickets I assume he's buying others too.

KA-BOOM! 4th of July PA Millionaire Raffle! It's On!Reply
Less that 388000 tickets sold, so on the last day only 28000 tickets or so sold, which has to be near an all time low. Between my tickets, my coworkers tickets, and the ones we shared, we won zero dollars, we also put the least amount of effort into this raffle, we cut back by a pretty good margin. We clearly have raffle fatigue. We keep saying the PA lottery has to cut back or reduce the prize structure, but they keep on chugging along.

Wyoming Lottery looks at offering statewide raffleNews Story
While seeking permission last week to add a fourth game for Wyoming lottery players this year, WyoLotto officials were also looking at offering a statewide raffle. Right now we're doing research and focus groups on raffles to get an idea of what people think of them, WyoLotto CEO Jon Clontz said. Clontz said raffles could be held once or twice a year, beginning in 2017. The Wyoming Lottery Corp. board of directors would have to approve adding the raffle. You can give money away, but m

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
Decided on another raffle. this time I am 300XXX.. They normally sell 500,000, so they have 200,000 to sell in 6 hours? Wonder if this is the end for the raffle tickets.. they pay out $5,089,200. 300,000 tickets would be $6Million brought in. Still making money, but curious if they stop the game.

Lottery winner describes his "freak-out" momentNews Story
Includes video report Last Saturday evening, Jacob Christopherson of Meridian, Idaho, had a self-described freak-out moment but in a good way. That's when Christopherson began checking his Idaho $1,000,000 Raffle tickets for winners. And he could not believe what he was seeing. I had been buying tickets around the 25,000th tickets, trying to win one of the $1,000 prizes. I stopped in the Maverik by my mom's house and just bought one to see what the current ticket number was, Christopherso

PA New Year's RaffleReply
This would seem to be the fault of the main Lottery computer not stopping ticket sales at 8pm ... it probably is and has been programmed to shut off sales at 500,000 ... but under that number ??? Maybe it was human error ... if someone was to do this manually at 8pm ... shutting the game off. However, you are correct about the hassle of a person getting their $20 returned. Why can't the tickets be taken to a human lottery terminal and get their $20 back over the counter . Now they have to
