  Does anyone know how they pick the winners and is it available to witness? The first part of this went off a couple weeks ago. 10 winners each received $10,000 and if I'm not mistaken,  9 of those were women. What are the odds of that lol? Yep, somethings fishy for sure lol (;

   

  Anyway, I have somewhere near 2,000 entries for the January drawing for $100,000 and wouldn't that be a great start to the new year.

  Jesus, did you have to manually type in 2000 codes from 2000 tickets to enter that many times?

  £2.50 and a dream!

  The winners are chosen by computer random generator.

  If you entered 2000 codes then you should have more than 2000 entires unless they were all $1 tickets.

  Merry Millionaire ‘13 ($20) = 20 entries
  Sleigh Ride ($10) = 10 entries
  Holiday Gifts ‘13 ($5) = 5 entries
  Merry Multiplier ($3) = 3 entries
  Cashing Thru the Snow ($2) = 2 entries
  Snow Days ($1) = 1 entry

  On a side note, if I spent $2000 on losing tickets and didn't win the second-chance drawing I would be pretty peeved 

  • If the chances of winning the jackpot are so slim, why play when the jackpot is so small? Your chances never change, but the potential payoff does.
  • If a crystal ball showed you the future of the rest of your life, and in that future you will never win a jackpot, would you still play?
  • I believe Joan Ginther ("world's luckiest woman") merely played lottery as a tax strategy. Evidence: zero prize claims through 10 years after her last Lotto Texas annuity payment!

  Actually the entries go by price of ticket. $20 ticket is 20 entries etc. I also dumpster dove for many of them as pathetic as I am lol times are tough here like never before unfortunately.
