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.

Secrets of a lottery lawyer-Kurt Panouses interviewReply
honest question, what is the advantage of hiring someone advertising themselves as a lottery lawyer over someone who simply has a proven track record of handling large estates and trusts? nothing against the guy, i'm sure he's competent and his clients are happy, but instinctively i'd prefer someone with less visibility. aside from the cost, what is really the downside of hiring a big city firm? in a major population center, they'd probably have some experience helping lottery winners even if th

Google is your friend. Although it's obvious that you are here to advertise this guy, so you'll contibue to act like it's not a way to anonymity and this guy is the savior. But everyone else should google it before they hire the guy you're advertising.

Hey G5! Good to see you're also fighting the good fight! I'm in the raffle because it came out right at a time when I decided to take a break from the lottery. I quit playing scratch-offs awhile back. I had been playing JTP regularly, but the method I'm using for number selection dictated a break until June (don't ask!) If by felt that you really could you mean 'can I afford it?' then yes. Considering the recent inflationary trends, I am fortunate to be in a position to still have disc

Long term member and attorney as well. I am sure the owner of the site does not view useful tips as advertising. And take a look at the anonymity summary I prepared that the LP owner pinned to the Jackpot forum. You are mad that I pointed out your incorrect reference to a double blind trust. Google is not the way to ascertain legal advice and is often incorrect. You are definitely an accident waiting to happen should you ever win big.

New Hampshire Lottery launches $30 scratch-off ticket offering record $3 million top prizeReply
Tucker is right. The cash jackpot is the real jackpot. If a winner chooses the annuity the cash amount of the jackpot is simply invested to pay the annuity. The annuity payout is promoted in advertising jackpots to look better.

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

State income tax applies to the state in which you live at the time you gain constructive receipt or the economic benefit of the money. Unless the ticket is from a state you don't live in, in which case that state gets their income tax before your home state gets a crack at it. what is the advantage of hiring someone advertising themselves as a lottery lawyer over someone [else] There's a lawyer in MA who has represented a number of winners, and (at least according to the reporting I sa

MY apologies if you've already seen this. https://floridalottery.com/promotions/raffle The Florida Lottery website is publishing the number of tickets sold. As of 4/10/2026 148,980 tickets have been sold . Scroll down a bit and you'll see it. Also I've read the official rules. Apparently there is no claiming anonymously. See below. By entering the MILLIONAIRE RAFFLE, a player gives his/her permission for the Florida Lottery to photograph and/or videotape and record the winner w

Probability of winning with multiple tickets
In this thread we will discuss how to calculate your odds of winning a draw game if you buy more than one ticket. Any lottery's website gives you the odds, but that is for one ticket. When you buy more than one ticket, you can calculate your odds of winning simply by dividing the stated odds by the number of tickets you hold. Let's take, for example, a Pick 2 game. Even if your state's lottery doesn't operate a Pick 2, if they operate a Pick 3 and let you bet on the front pair or bac
