Virginia woman wins $50,000 Pick 5 prize on first-ever lottery ticketReply
You are required to have your picture taken and they are allowed to promote it. You are not required to be overly exuberant about it or have to explain or concoct some story about how or why you won to help future sales for them and make yourself well known and a potential target for bilkers.

Then it would be your turn to get exploited by a state lottery commission to help promote their games whose sales may be slumping. I am sure you wouldn't mind however.

I guess it is OK to believe that story that it was her first time playing along with the one yesterday and the one a few weeks ago. I guess it wouldn't be to help increase sales by non players.

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
I tried one on day one and lost so will be playing it sparingly lol. Funny how the new promotion for the ticket requires you to buy a florida lottery ticket as well for a entry. That let's you know Fla lottery sales are down and the tix are flooded with losers lol. Anyway, I found this after a few months without a big win.

Mega Millions and Powerball offer $1.11 billion in combined lottery jackpotsReply
I agree they should go back to the old matrix. But, they should also increase the price per ticket to $5 while increasing the lower tiered prizes. This increase will also help to push the jackpot up at a higher rate so there is still the FOMO factor that helps to increase sales.

$36 million Mega Millions ticket sold in Florida goes unclaimedReply
I think online sales would help a lot. In the cases where people were contacted via email, at least the winner eventually realized it was legitimate. It costs the lottery far less time and effort and money to reach a known person vs advertising for an unclaimed ticket.

I doubt online sales will solve the problem of forgotten leading to expired tickets. I have read that some people play online have gotten emails from lottery HQ, telling them that they won but they thought the email was a scam. Also too, there are people that do not bother to check their emails either. There is no guaranteed way to stop the now epidemic of expired lottery tickets.

We may seem stupid, but we're not CRAZYReply
We'll probably never get the actual percentage of total QP sales or even when a jackpot is won. It seems more likely self picks have a majority when the Jackpot is $20 million and under $100 million because many play their pet numbers regardless of the jackpot size.
