Um, I don't think you did the math, there were about 600 smaller prizes. The state made very little if anything on this raffle since more than 200,000 tickets were unsold.

I hope Arkansas goes ahead and draws their raffle tickets. I work at a gas station on the weekends and the last one we sold on Sunday was around 140,000. I don't think they will be selling out anytime soon.

$20 ticket !!!!!!!!!!

I don't have enough money to spend $20 on one drawing .......... my neighbor has purchased $100 tickets for a local raffle for a motorcycle .......... his wife could melt steel with the looks she gives him when he tells me about buying them!

I spend $1 on either Powerball or Mega Millions ......... can't afford to lose anymore than that!

Congrats to all that win ............. but .............

Actually, the 298,718 losing tickets made the 3 millionaires and the NC Lottery made $2,156,380 on the raffle.

I purchased two tickets, but when I checked them they were not winners...of any amount, LoL. I had a friend that purchased about 30 tickets and I've texted him several times, but he has yet to respond to my requests if he has any winners in the tickets he purchased. I hope he did.

Michigan has tried raffles like that. In fact, Michigan has tried raffles of many different varieties. You can check out all the different types by visiting the Michigan Lottery Results page and scrolling to the Special Games section. All the raffle results are there.

If one of these states would try my suggestion just one time they would have a good lottery raffle...Just like the powerball or mega millions....I wont buy those either,I know I wont have a chance against all the other 100 million players playing these games...I know I wont win.If some state like Tennessee would have 1000 $10,000 wins I would jump on it.Sorry but it's my way to play fair...I guess I'm just a straight up person...
