The raffle also didn't sell out last year in WI.

Interesting that this raffle didnt sell out. The raffle craze will soon be no more, even PA had a hard time selling them out. And Michigan took a lot longer than usual. The bottom line is these things are still nothing but 50% payback lotteries that on a dollar for dollar basis are nothing better than regular state lotteries.

Font du What? sounds like I'd need a passport to get in there... also kind of a long ride from nj. The Mega was won 6 mi. from here. Very weird how there is not a peep about that winner not coming forward yet. Hmmm... what if I say I lost the ticket in the parking lot (even though I was never there before). Even if that backfires I could pursue a career as a professional boxer!

Again.. these raffles are done in sequence. It was nothing to do with location, it has everything to do with timing.... [ More ]

I had two tickets in the WI raffle but they were from the Milwaukee area and Appleton area. I struck out. I know people who drive to or through WI all the time. Next time I'll ask them to stop in Fond du Lac

On New Year's Day, Phil Moses was atop a ladder, putting some big news up on the marquis outside Ma Pa's Grocery Express in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.

Another winning $1 million lottery ticket was sold at the legendary little store located at 506 S. Main St., along a strip dubbed The Miracle Mile.

I don't want to sound arrogant, Phil quipped, but I seriously don't understand why people buy lottery tickets at any other location.

A $100,000 winning ticket was also sold at Pick 'n Sa... [ More ]
