Funny thing about that is Oklahoma had what they called their 1st Anniversary Raffle back on Jan 20, 2007. They haven't had one since then. I guess either someone forgot to setup the raffle in the following years, or else it didn't do so well.

Just got back from the store and they had no idea what I was talking about. They have not been advertsing it that much. If it wasn't for LP I would have had no idea it was going on.

Guess I will go and try to get some tomorrow.

Good for Arkansas players. I wish CT would do a raffle every other state in New England/Northeast has done one. I know because I have dropped money on a raffle in everyone of those states(except Maine). I hate to think CT is behind Arkansas in anyway.

I'm not a transplant, but in my travels to Memphis, that has been hands-down my favorite place to go. They have the world's best ribs, for sure! The music and singing is good enough to arrive early for a good seat. When I've been there, the set starts at 7:00 PM, so don't arrive late

I got half a mind (yes, literally) to make a run over there and get me a couple of them dadgum things.

Maybe I'll stop and check on that real estate I bought out there years ago. It was called Whitewater and I paid cash to the lawyer lady but she kept telling me she couldn't find the paperwork. I haven't talked to her in years. I heard she went into politics. Oh well.

Might as well stop in Memphis too and go to Graceland. I can't think of any other reason to stop in Memphis except maybe fo... [ More ]

I just noticed Arkansas recently started a pick four game. They are moving pretty swiftly with new games. I'm pretty sure they will release a PICK 5 game by the end of the year at this rate.

Good luck to the players in this raffle.

That's kind of the opposite of the purpose of raffles. They are designed to give players a much better chance of winning a big prize. For smaller prizes, scratch-offs or traditional lotto games are for already out there, and have tons of small prizes.

Tickets are only $10 each - a good deal for a 1-in-250,000 chance at $1M.
