The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
I'll be getting fewer tickets going forward, because I definitely think that the best shot at winning something was in the first round. Before awareness spreads, and before the million dollar fever sets in. I think that sales will increase as people come to find out about the raffle. Winning something meaningful enough (the prizes between 5k and 100k) won't be as easy . The million dollar draw odds aren't bad for a big sum, but it's still a shot in the dark. The tickets are pricey for still

Holiday Raffle!Reply
While I was living in New York, I couldn't wait for The PA Millionaire Raffle to be announced in October. It was about an hour's drive over to PA for me to buzz across I-84 and buy them. For multiple years I made many trips to PA. I organized a pool and the pool bought quite a few of them. None of the tickets I bought ever won a dime. On one trip to PA, I bought a bunch and decided to sell them to people I knew. I sold one of the tickets to my brother. (I held them in my hand like a fan , a

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
I'm not sure if 415,000 tickets sold is a good thing or not. it's good from the players standpoint of lower odds to win a million dollars, but whether or not the Florida Lottery will cut the number of winners from 10 down to a lower number due to lower sales is another thing altogether. I read the official rules but can't recall seeing anything about that. If this raffle loses money I can't see them being in a big hurry to have more of them. It must be a combination of things for the

Probability of winning with multiple ticketsReply
Childish people throw around insults because they're insecure... like you, or a toddler struggling to learn social skills, or our current President. When adults act like toddlers, it means they need help. In another thread, GiveFive realized I'm not old enough to know that they used to have manual raffle ticket drawings. I just figured it had to be RNG because of the volume. GiveFive has told us his age. So has Coin Toss. Why don't you malign them for being old? And since when is being o

Buying MM or PB lottery ticketsReply
Have to agree with you on this one Coin Toss. When I lived in New York I used to hop over the border to Pennsylvania and buy PA Millionaire Raffle tickets. They sold a maximum of 500,000 tickets. Because they awarded four million dollar prizes, they advertised odds of 125,000 to 1 to win one million dollars. The first four tickets drawn (they really used an RNG) won one million dollars each. When draw time rolled around after they awarded the first million dollar prize by drawing one ti

New York- The Million Dollar RaffleReply
It would seem that New Yorkers don't really play raffle draws. Maybe the big prize being just $1 Million was not enticing enough for the $20 cost. Can't really blame 'em. For $20,I'd be looking for a bigger payout myself. But the odds were 1 in 2 million compared to the big draw games odds. Somewhere around only 40% of tickets were sold for this draw. Great odds for the ones that did play though

Probability of winning with multiple ticketsReply
The easy way to understand the difference is from the end of Tucker's last post... 4/500,000... this is where probability stops... one ticket gives you 4 favorable outcomes to the 500,000 possible outcomes. This is the reality of any game. Only here we have 4 top prizes instead of one. 1/125,000... this is where the Odds are... which is favorable outcomes to unfavorable outcomes. He is correct in performing the division here because for every favorable outcome there are 125,000 unfavorab

It looks as if the $5.00 MM ticket is doing poorly.Reply
While there are games that cost more than $5..... $10 scratchers, $20 scratchers, $50 scratchers, $20 raffle tickets, etc., the difference is that in those games, you have a vastly higher chance of winning a large amount of money. The problem with the new $5 MM is that they didn't change much of anything. It includes the multiplier for lower prizes (instead of giving you a choice to pay the extra $1). They included a 10X possibility but re-arranged the other multiplier odds to give you preci
