Was checking other state lotteries for
Games not available in my state. Noticed that Florida has a Pick2. If I had a Pick2 to play I'd be tempted on NFL Sundays to play the football scores. Just a thought. Maybe some players already do that.

It looks as if the $5.00 MM ticket is doing poorly.Reply
$5 for a single Mega Millions lottery ticket is insane. In Florida we can buy a $5 grouper and get a $3 lotto, $1 Jackpot triple play, a free $1 fantasy , and a $1 straight pick 4. We can buy a $2 lotto, $2 Powerball, and a $1 fantasy 5 ticket for $5 The lottery commission is out of their minds charging $5 for a single Mega Millions ticket when we can get more tickets for the same price.

If you're playing a game, enjoying it and winning off it, then more power to you. I'd be surprised if Florida doesn't miss the revenue from the game you're playing and add the $5 version eventually. Hang in there and congratulations on your wins!

would you rather win 1, 10, 50, 100, or 500 million $Reply
There really are no viable ways to protect your identity after your name is published in Florida after 90 days. Unless you are choosing to change your name which is foolish since your new name could be easily figured out by monitoring family members. Be careful of promises on any website. Creating an llc is not going to help you after your full name is out there.

When Powerball went to three drawings the jackpots increased about the same every week as before the change for several months despite the fact there was an extra drawing. Then people got used to it or got over their snit at the moneygrubbing lottery (including me) and began to play more $$$. I have a feeling Florida players will do the same.

I realize that from a Florida Fantasy5 players perspective going to two draws per day flat out stinks, and that me posting all of the hidden benefits for the Florida Lottery doesn't make it any better for players. However there is one more thing I'd like to say and then I'll stop my long winded rants. I think in 2020 (not sure if that's the correct year or not, but if it's not 2020 then it's close to 2020) The New York Lottery implemented two drawings per day for their Pick5 game, Take5. Tak

Sure. It's definitely possible that The Florida Lottery changed the percentage of net sales allocated to the winners prize pool. (50%) They could have even changed the percentage of the winners prize pool allocated to the top prize. (62%) But that's not what they did or what happened at all. From reading Fantasy5's Official Rules I didn't see any percentages that changed when the midday drawing was added. It's also true that net sales for FF5 could be down in general these days due to player

Multi state gamesReply
The Florida Lotto odds is for one ticket. If you buy three of them, assuming the numbers are different, your odds of winning $3.2 million go up to about 1 in 7 million.

Fantasy 5 payouts are garbage now!Reply
Good point about Florida having more people to split the winning money. Makes sense that the prize money went down with it being distributed amongst so many people. I guess the money pool would be better in a place like say Wyoming where there is a much smaller population. :)

Rising Gas Prices and the LotteryReply
I couldn't agree more with that statement if I had to. I just happen to be in the middle of taking a break from playing the games I usually play but it's not because I'm keeping an eye on myself. It's because of that Florida Lottery Millionaire Raffle. Tickets went on sale on March 1st and cost 20 bucks a pop and the final drawing to win a million dollars isn't until July 2nd. I've been averaging buying one ticket per month. (That's not true, I bought 2 tickets in May because 40 bucks c
