Agree with Floridian. Before I write anything else, I want to say that Todd has created a wonderful web site, one of the best I've seen. I would love to say Hello to all my friends on Lottery Post, but...

one of the reasons I wouldn't want to write I won $10 million dollars on the board is for 10 reasons, the first 9 being This is the internet!!! Nothing about the internet is private, including your emails.

The other is that, unless I signed on under a different user name, I wouldn... [ More ]

Floridian:

That is very good advice, We all know about the horror stories that come along with hitting a huge jackpot. I guess I got a little overzealous with my day dreaming! It's smart to keep as low a profile as possible and just try to live a normal life. So after reading your reply, I would definetly just disclose the required information and request minimal publicity. Thank you for you advice, I should have known better

I can not answer your question with total certainty but I will give you this. Over the past several months, as I recall, there have been several polls on LP that have asked if you have won x amounts of dollars. One of the choices was over a million. I think that several people answered yes. Obviously, all the poll expected you to do was to check mark your pick. If everyone that answered yes was telling the truth, then it appears that several people have won a lot.

Most peopl... [ More ]

I was just wondering if any lottery post member has ever won the lottery? I would be interested to find that out. Anyway if anyone who is a member happens to read this would you please reply? Anyway Wed Nov 29 is my birthday and it sure would be nice to have my numbers hit. I have 2 advance play tickets for the Florida lottery and I am pretty sure that no one from Alaska has ever won. So if it happens to be me I will be sure to let all the lottery post members know about it, or you can check ou... [ More ]

You should see it tonight! Now the raffle meter is RED. This is the Lottery's way of getting people to buy tickets so they won't lose out before they're gone. Their marketing for this game is really smart.

I stopped to get gas today and walked in with a $20 bill. Figured I'd charge the gas and buy a ticket, but I chickened out! A win would be soooooo nice. But a loss would be sooooo lousy. I need to wait a couple of days to make sure nothing more is going to blow up or fall apart... [ More ]

I've been going bonkers with the my 4 states all having raffles. I have easy access to DE, MD, NJ, and PA and will have no less than one of each.

Thanks for the heads up on this Floridian. I had planned on buying 5....have 3 already. I better rush out now. It's cutting into my Pick 3/4's, but I like the odds and the payouts. Damn, $10,000.00 sounds good to me

Thanks for that info Floridian, very interesting. I always love reporting on the Florida Lottery, because there are so many serious lottery players in the Sunshine State.

In addition to the 9 million we are also amazed at the amount of raffle tickets that have already been sold in the Christmas raffle which started just one week ago.

Out the original 1,250,000 to be sold, as of 7:30am this morning 10/27/06 only 394,733 remain. To put it more in perspective, of the 25 million dollars that was to be raised, the Lottery Commission has already raised 17 million and some change. This amounts to about 70% plus of the tickets being sold in just one week. I believe... [ More ]
