PA New Year's RaffleReply
I got some for the VA raffle. They only sold 300k and they sold out. They also added a separate 1k raffle. Maybe Pa should look at that. It's also better odds.

Florida Lottery Holiday Millionaire RaffleReply
RNG is an acronym for random number generator . In terms of the raffle being compromised, I was concerned that since many states have had issues with fraudulent computer generated numbers that perhaps the millionaire raffle game may have been altered/rigged as well.

Illinois Halloween RaffleReply
Since the raffles don't happen all that often I was thinking of the uproar it would cause if they paid raffle winners but not draw game and scratcher winners - just so they could sell tickets for the next raffle.

Discovery - New PA Raffle Game ChangeReply
Thanks for responding Ron. I think everything you wrote is spot on. My thinking with regard to using a RNG for a raffle as opposed to a drawing of numbered balls from a fixed matrix (6/49) is the lottery really cant use a rotating glass drum with balls in it for a raffle due to time constraints. I suppose a drum could be used, but how practical is it to do that? I would think that it might take a very long time for a rotating drum to spit out 6,000 different winning raffle ticket numbers. It'

Pennsylvania Millionaire Raffle is Now SEASONALReply
This is a good thing for those who like raffles. I didn't go to PA this summer so I missed out on the last raffle but I'm sure I'll be in on the next one. I do well on this raffle.

Would you stop playing the lottery if you were restricted to Quick Picks?Reply
With raffle tickets you have some limited control over the approximate raffle ticket number you end up with because they are sequential. Quick Picks are as random as can be.

PA Raffle Tickets on Sale - Drawing July 11, 2015Reply
G5 - there was something else Ron said in his earlier post ... With that said, I don't know if the randomizer is skewed ... or is it showing a strong bias toward higher numbers? So it could be something with the RNG machine. How many other states have made this discovery with their RNG or computerized machines? Two things we don't know ... is this the same RNG Raffle Machine being used since the Raffle first started ... if not, then how many RNG machines for the raffle drawing have there b

PA Raffle Tickets on Sale - Drawing July 11, 2015Reply
I have also noticed this since 2013 ... I have not checked all the way back to the first raffle drawing. I was going to wait this time and buy my raffle tickets very late or near the end over the last two weeks before July 11th, but I did not ... here are the numbers for the $1 million dollar prize ... it's the only one that I really care about ... but don't get me wrong, I would gladly accept any prize amount, but I play for the top prize with the 1 in 125,000 odds. If there is another ra

PA Raffle Tickets on Sale - Drawing July 11, 2015Reply
Based on the posted raffle results, sales fell short by around 38,000 tickets; not a sell out. PA Lottery still made a bundle. However, PA Lottery lost bragging rights for always selling out - this time they didn't, and appeared to be caught off guard. PA Lottery still drew 6,000 winning tickets as advertised. So those who played (I didn't) had around a 7.5% better chance of winning a prize. Overall stated odds is 1 in ~83, but improved to ~1 in 77 due to around 462,100 tickets being sold ins

I don't think I'll be in PA this summer so I probably won't play the best ran raffle in the country. I do well when I play this raffle
