I don't see anything unusual about it. That's about the same percentage of profits they make in the other games. El Gordo is unusual because it returns 70% of the money in prizes, but 50% is common for USA lotteries, regardless of game. Cash Only always complains about NY's 40% return.

What's different about the raffle is not the state's profit, it's your odds of winning a million dollars (much better odds in a raffle game). (In Delaware, it's a better shot at winning $250,000.... [ More ]

I think I need to start a raffle contest.

100,000 tickets @$10.00= $1,000,000 and pay out to winners was a total of $500,000????

Looks like easy money to me for the State.

The grand prize will most likely not step forward, but the grand prize winner will.
