Hey Cableman-

Your cashier unfortunately gave you incorrect information. As of this morning (Monday), we'd sold a little more than 145,000 tickets. There are still about 355,000 tickets remaining. I'm not sure where the confusion came from, but wanted to make sure you had good info. As for any of you on this thread, let me know if you have any other questions. Good luck

That Cashier was wrong. As of this morning, 145,742 have been sold, a far cry from the statement that only 90K tickets are left. They will only sell 500K of them.

Well I won't kick an annuity of of bed if I win tomorrow night. I'd just sell her on the street corner, and pay the AMT instead of waiting 20 years to collect.

Cash Only...in checking out the KY lottery web site there is NO mention of an annuity for the top prizes.

That's if the KY raffle million-dollar prizes are cash. Michigan's raffle had annuity prizes.

Quick calculations - $5M in, $2.75M out, payout percentage 55% - better than other jurisdiction's usual 50%.
