The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
248156 sold as of 05/14, so only six days instead of seven between sales updates. That averages to 2625 sold per day for the past six days. Seventy-five days into Raffle sales, the average sold per day is 3308. If the average stays in this neighborhood for the entire 122 days of sales, we're looking at somewhere around 415,000 tickets sold.

Rising Gas Prices and the LotteryReply
My next cut would be not to play at all. I am down to $12 a week for PB... that is it, no more pick n games. I will be picking up a pa raffle ticket in november also.

I'm thinking about buying more tickets, but the big question for me is how many would I buy? I posted above that I won 40 bucks (cash) and I did buy one ticket with that money. I still have the other twenty dollar bill in my wallet, so maybe I'll buy another ticket with that. For now I'm keeping my eye on the raffle just to see what happens. Sales have been slow... about 3600 a day, so if they remain slow that'll have some bearing on whether or not I'll buy more. I'm a fan of raffles..

The actual number of tickets sold for the first interim drawing, as posted on the Raffle web page, was 122,119. Your estimate was spot on, winterbird!

Probability of winning with multiple ticketsReply
It is true that the probability of winning the first prize is 1 in 500,000. It is also true that the probability of winning the second prize, assuming you didn't win the first prize, is 1 in 499,999. The probability of one raffle ticket winning a million dollars is the sum of the probabilities of that raffle ticket winning the first prize OR the second prize OR the third prize OR the fourth prize. One raffle ticket cannot win more than once, which simplifies the calculation a bit. Probab

Calculating the straight odds of a raffle is easy, at least by prize tier. You divide the number of tickets sold by the number of prizes. Like for example, if by the end it sells 900,000 tickets, then the odds for the million are 1:90,000. If it sells 1,400,000 tickets, the odds are 1:140,000. There are additional prizes added at the half mil increments of sales. So if it sells 1,600,000 tickets the odds are 1:106,6666. Your personal odds based on how many tickets you buy are equal

Not even a scratch off? I've bought multiple raffle tickets the last time but I'm one and done on this one. There are only 10 winners if 1,000,000 and less are sold and 20 winners if all 2 million raffles are sold. I know last time I don't even think they reach a million in sales but it'll be interesting to see how this one does given our current state of affairs.

A $20 ticket for a chance, to win $1 million is steep I agreed with you. I balk at $5 lottery tickets, there's no way I can justify $20 for a chance to win $1 million. I'd honestly rather buy 4 $5 Mega millions tickets(And I absolutely detest $5 Mega millions tickets with every fiber of my being) for a chance to win $496 million than 1 $20 Millionaire raffle ticket.
