I like this a lot better than PA's current raffle. Although the $750,000 cash would be great, but this raffle has better overall prizes and more of them. I will be recommending this to PA. 25 prizes of $50,000 is even great. But I would love $1,000 a week for life as that would take a lot of pressure off worrying about investing and when the next check is coming. $36,000 a year is still pretty good, especially on top of another part-time income.

Looks Ok, maybe they will add a 50/50 option to a future raffle where you can spend 5 or 10 extra bux and split the pot 50/50 with the state. I beleive at least 3 people would buy the 50/50 option

He's replying to Me or the other guy's post. The LP's forum design is the weirdest and most confusing one on the internet.

Actually there is. One the right hand side in the news section there is a title of Newest Raffle. That is the only place though.

You and your friend seem to be playing a different game than the one described here.

I can't be bought into spending 20 dollars for a mere chance of winning, but this one looks fun. I plan on buying a ticket.

Sorry to rub that in your face.

By the way, the new raffle is no where to be seen on the Michigan lottery website... I wonder where the source for this info is

Most of all lose. I bought 7 tickets, 10 dollars each. I lost. A Friend of mine had 47 tickets. He got 70 dollars back from one ticket.

I'm sure they will eat u up in taxes, being that is added income.

52,000. plus whatever your gross income. It's cool if u don't make that much

money for a year. I won't buy as many of the $20. as i did the $10.

didn't even have a $70. winner. I guess i'm being a sore loser
