Ontario Lottery implements deposit limits for players under 25Reply
I agree ! I am tired of lottery commissions policing buyers yet they get upset when the sales go down. My state does not allow online ticket buying because they feel it will hurt lottery retailers. They also just started allowing debit cards to purchase but most retailers do not allow you to do it. Cash is still required. So the law change was pointless.

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
I'm good with that. Lower odds for those players that have a ticket(s). Might buy another next week and right at the end of the sales cycle on June 30th. G5

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
... 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. The snip below is from the Raffle Prizes page. Looks like they only need to sell 1 ticket to award all prizes! Now that's a business plan!

89 second prize winners for the powerballReply
According to ChatGPT this isn't possible in a random system. Especially 89 second place winners mostly from lower populations states. 19 from Indiana and 11 from Louisiana on total ticket sales at 9,400,000. Says most likely reason is Correlated ticket generation within specific state systems or retail networks using shared software.

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
Got anther Raffle ticket when I stopped at Publix today. Over 4500 tickets have been sold since the Lottery put out their most recent sales update. Maybe Saturday is the hot Raffle-buying day! Anyway, I walked up to the lottery counter, and said I'd like a $20 Raffle ticket. (I always mention the price, because if I don't, diligent clerks ask if I know that the price is $20.) So the clerk says which one? I say the Raffle ticket. And she's like which one? and looking over at the scratch-offs, lol

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The Mega Millions jackpot increased by $13 million to $163 million after 11 rolls. There is an estimated 1.6% chance the Mega Millions jackpot will be won in the next draw. The jackpot is now fully funded from sales and starting to increase by more than the minimum $10 million. The Powerball jackpot is still slowly catching up to the Mega Millions jackpot. The Mega Millions jackpot is $45 million larger than the Powerball jackpot. A week ago, it was $64 million larger.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The Mega Millions jackpot increased by the minimum $10 million to $120 million after 7 rolls. There is an estimated 1.5% chance the Mega Millions jackpot will be won in the next draw. The jackpot is underfunded from sales by about $17 million. Even though the Powerball jackpot was recently won and started at the $20 million amount, it is slowly starting to catch up to the Mega Millions jackpot. Further proof the Powerball game is continuing to win the race.

California Lottery accidentally publishes winner's address instead of retailer's in press releaseReply
* This isn't the first time they screwed up. Back in 2012, they swooped down onto a store demanded footage of the sales of the day to find the jackpot winner posted their faces on TV. * They seemed to have forgotten that a winner had a year to come forth claim their prize, not less than 2 months after the win. I seriously thought these errors were a thing of the past. Will probably hear ( New Staff) excuse.

Well, I'd rather no computer randomizer be used, but I can't do anything about that so I'm here for however this goes. Update on the data, today's sales are in the low 4,000 range. Maybe it'll chug along slowly until before the million draw.
