Ontario Lottery launches a new type of instant ticketReply
The overall odds of winning any instant prize in the game are 1 in 3.19 , while the odds of winning one of the $100,000 top prize are 1 in 20,000. It's all about the odds. Florida Lottery's $20 Triple Match scratch-off offers 1 in 2.85 of winning any prize (a little better than the Ontario game,) but odds of 1 in 888,166 of winning $100,000 , much worse than the Ontario game. At the $30 level (since Florida has no $25 scratchers) odds of winning any prize is 1 in 2.93 (also better than

Florida LLC revealed to have claimed $1.6 billion Mega Millions lottery jackpotReply
Exactly my thoughts. If the doctor had a winning ticket of more than $600 that he must redeem at a Florida Lottery office prior to September, then his name and address was saved in The Florida Lottery's database. When The Jackpot Winners and Retailer Information Report was created in September, it's very plausible that his name was placed on the report either by a software program error or it was manually put on the report in error by someone that works at The Fla Lottery.

Florida LLC revealed to have claimed $1.6 billion Mega Millions lottery jackpotReply
I agree. The Jacksonville doctor is my scientific wild guess. I worked in data processing for over 30 years and I saw output produced from software programs that I never expected. Most times it was a bug in the code that produced erroneous results. The Florida Lottery software that creates the report could have malfunctioned, or somebody at the Florida Lottery made an honest mistake and entered the doctors name even if he wasn't the actual winner. No telling what happened. G5
