The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
Wanted to update/correct my previous figures, as for some reason I thought there were only three interim prize periods, and there are actually four. Bottom line, 640,900 tickets need to be sold to fund all prizes to be awarded in the Raffle (interim prizes and Grand Prizes.) The duration of the raffle is 122 days, so sales need to average 5,245 tix a day. Based on the Lottery's figure of 169,906 tix sold as of 4/17 , sales are averaging 3,540 tix/day so far. Hard to say if sales will pick up or

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The Mega Millions jackpot is growing faster because sales for the game are higher than Powerball sales.

248156 sold as of 05/14, so only six days instead of seven between sales updates. That averages to 2625 sold per day for the past six days. Seventy-five days into Raffle sales, the average sold per day is 3308. If the average stays in this neighborhood for the entire 122 days of sales, we're looking at somewhere around 415,000 tickets sold.

Per Florida Lottery, the Raffle sales weekly update is 190300 as of 4-24. We're 55 days in, so average daily sales are at 3460 per day, slightly under last week's 3540 average. So 3460 times 122 (total days of sales in the raffle) would equal 422,120 tickets sold. 640900 Tickets need to be sold just to fund all of the prizes.

Bought a ticket today around noon in the 117,000 range. Looking at Winterbird's sales data chart (thanks WB!) it seems reasonable to estimate 4,000 more sales today, to put the total sales for interim draw 1 at around 121,000. So if this estimate is close to actual sales, then it looks like odds of winning one of the 2,498 prizes in interim draw #1 would be 1:48. Odds on both the $100,000 and $10,000 prize tiers would be 1:40,333. $5,000 is 1:24,200 $1,000 is 1: 10,083 $500 is 1:537 $100 is

It looks as if the $5.00 MM ticket is doing poorly.Reply

Colorado bill would ban credit card lottery ticket purchases and online salesNews Story
Lottery couriers nearly caught in the crossfire By Kate Northrop Colorado legislators have introduced a bill that would roll back credit card purchases for lottery tickets and ban direct online ticket sales. Some lawmakers in Colorado are not happy with the Colorado Lottery's unilateral decision to approve credit card purchases and direct online ticket sales, which the Colorado Lottery Commission approved in a meeting in November 2025. At the time the Lottery voted in favor of th

This just in to The Interesting to Note But Nobody Cares Department - This time around The Florida Lottery did in fact revamp this edition of The Millionaire Raffle. I think they probably copied some ideas that were instituted by The Pennsylvania Millionaire Raffle. I'm a transplant from the Northeast to Florida, and I used to live less than an hour's drive of Pennsylvania. PA has offered their version of a Millionaire Raffle every Fall for many years. I made the trip over to PA each Fall qu

The Florida Lottery finally updated their weekly sales data. Their potential total sales figure comes to 379128. One thing I saw that I hadn't noticed before was this note on the bottom of the sales update page: *Ticket sales will continue through June 30, 2026, or until 2,000,000 tickets are sold, whichever occurs first. Uh, Florida Lottery, reality is calling...
