Thanks Kristoff10,
Your turn next. I loved the combo using 3 different symbols for a 1k hit. 95% of the time when I find the $100 Burst symbol that is all I am winning. Nice creativity by the lottery for a change. Hopefully more to come in the future!

Good. 1 in 23 odds at winning $100 makes more sense. If the odds were actually 1 in 212, this game would be terrible to purchase in books since there would be so many books where the biggest winner would be $50.
I bought 3 of the new $30 ticket yesterday, won $90 back. i bought 3 more today, all ticket #000 on different rolls. Wishing everyone the best of luck! The odds of winning $1M, and $1K are pretty good on this game.
Well I had inquired via email late Feb with the Lotto about them having the $100 win odds for the FTM posted at 1/212 when it should be 1/21 and after a frustrating exchange of emails it looks like it's finally fixed.
Here's what I had sent:
The Florida Lottery website lists the new FASTEST ROAD TO $1,000,000 game's $100 win odds of 1/212. Are those odds correct? According to my calculations it should be 1/21.
Please advise, and thank you.
Their response was a huge paragraph that took 10 sentences to essentially say that winning tickets might not be evenly distributed within a book (wow, really profound, lol). I responded with a request for them to better evaluate my question, and got another response of how they ensure fairness in all games...(sigh).
Then later in the day I get an auto message from them to have their emails to me recalled (which I didn't act on), but when a looked at the listed odds at least it was correct at 1/21, so whether they finally acted on my inquiry or found the error through other means at least it's now corrected.

Hey jackpotchasing, nice job on the FRM pounder! Good point too on the neat 3-way winning combo! Biggest win I've had on this so far is $100 (but not the burst yet, just # matches)

FRM Jackpots- 4 down, 151 to go.
Hi Sum_Buddy, thanks for the info, and I noticed that the Lotto press releases has that latest FRM $1M being sold in Davie, so geographical prize distributions look reasonable, so far.
As of the latest FRM info posted on the Lotto site it looks like about 25K or so books out of 1,400K have been played so far, or about 1.8% of the initial release.

If they tell you, "of we've fixed this permanently now" or anything along those lines - don't buy it.
They did this more than a few times, and even had the odds wrong on one game for years. They fixed it, then in a discussion some time later one of their higher ups told me they had changed the process and it is now all automatic so that that, "cannot happen again." Clowns.

Not sure if anyone mentioned it yet, but they've got another $10 game with top prize of $500 coming. Couldn't tell a lot from the advertisements, but may be more then $50 $100 $500. Think it promises "best odds at $500 ever" or so. Hypothetically that would imply better than 1 in 159 or whatever $20 Gold Rush has them at, but maybe they mean best for the price point.

Yeah lol I guess so much for "Cannot happen again"...and I never even considering pointing out to them that their posted odds of $10,000 and $20,000 on the FRM are truly not exactly 1/60,000 - had figured they were close enough.
But it still kinda bugs me that they went ahead and rounded out those odds but can post the top $1M prize odds accurately down to the last digit. Why not just be consistent and post them all correctly?
