i agree on the outter limits seem to never win, the wife and i have spoke of this often.with my job i travel ALL over the state and will spend up to a $100.00 on a trip getting different tickets and it just seems odd that clinton township is about the best bet to get a winner (at least for fantasy 5

Yes, this is better. It feels more like a substantial win to the ticket holder after the 'punch-to-the-gut' 40%+ in taxes is deducted from this $1.2 million dollars.

Congratulations on your win -- it's certainly not 'retire now' money, yet it is a tidy use-of-interest-only-fund that will provide peace-of-mind for several years; if it is mainly invested at guaranteed 6%+ APY rather than spent.

The College of William and Mary had a 50/50 raffle during its football games (except for tournament games when they were not allowed). They were in the same style as this game - one winner got 50% of the money that the raffle raised. I always played but never won.
