Neither. The odds are the same. The only way to improve your odds is to buy more tickets.

Yeah, Nov. 1st'll be fine... Hey, what?....

I knew them pickles had a wang to em! Is that what makes em taste so funky? Maybe that's why I never eat there. My dog likes a burger everytime we pass one though. Plain, no pickles.

Yeah, I know the Eau du Grease well. I worked fast food once when I was just a little peckerwood.

I don't get the odds on the 500k tickets either but it'll probably make sense to me after just a little more of this snakebite medicine.

Yep, I'll send you a few...Nov. 1st ok? You wouldn't want a Mickey D's anyway Ridgerunner, trying to keep a bunch of lazy kids from pissing in the pickles and the eau du grease smell really sticks to ya. Although...could be an aphrodesiac in your neck of the woods.

I don't get the 2.5mill to one on the dollar post, they are only selling 500k tickets, am I missing something

It don't make no never mind how you buy em from my experience.

I think it's always a good idea to buy a few extra and give them to the disenfranchised though.

BTW, I had a dream last night that I had a McDonalds franchise and then I woke up and realized I didn't really have a McDonalds franchise.

So I'm feeling a little disenfranchised right now.

Agree 100%. Spread your purchases out over the entire month.

These raffles are awful. And the public isnt buying it anymore as many of these state raffles now go unsold. People dont like buying tickets and then holding on to them for weeks and then maybe longer as some states like Michigan cant sell em out and push the dates back. Remember these raffles still only have a 50% payout. Your better off playing instants that might have a 70% payout or higher. The line best odds to be a millionaire are so misleading. On a dollar per dollar basis your odds per d... [ More ]

Pure luck.

I bought a ticket for the first Illinois raffle and when the results came in my one number was over 1500 numbers away up or down from the winners.

Considering that, I don't see any advantage in buying a block of numbers.

Yes, I know there are going to be 499,500 losers (so the odds aren't really as good as they claim), but should one choose to embark upon this endeavor, is there any advantage to buying in groups by the week or just one at a time daily? Ideas
