The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
The Florida Lottery did their weekly sales update of 330394 at end-of-sales for yesterday. Since I got my ticket at beginning of sales, it looks like total sales on Thursday were less than 2,000.

Bought ticket 3284xx around 10:00 this morning. So after 109 days of sales (I didn't include today, as I bought my ticket about an hour after Raffle sales came online) the daily sales average is around 3013. That extrapolates to a potential of 367,000 in total sales.

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Historically, albeit rarely, MM would occasionally approach pre-tax expectation values of greater than 1.0. This is sure to never happen with the $5 ticket. It's entirely possible that the current format could reach 1.0 before taxes. In fact, it's even more likely thanks to the $5 ticket price, and 4 of the top 5 MM jackpots show that it's possible. The five biggest MM jackpots all exceeded a pre-tax 1.0 expectation value (about $605 million cash), with cash values of $877.8 million, $7

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.

I'm guessing that The Fla Lottery wont post on their website how many raffle tickets were actually sold. So I came up with a crazy idea. There's a gas station not far from my house. I might run over there around 7/8 PM on June 30th and buy a ticket. Doing that won't reveal the total number of tickets that were actually sold, but it should reveal a pretty good approximation of total sales. I'll post the number here, if I actually do it. G5
