PA Raffle Tickets on Sale - Drawing July 11, 2015Prev TopicNext Topic

Quote: Originally posted by GiveFive on Jul 19, 2015
Although I've only played in the last two PA Millionaire Raffles, I have to agree with everything written above.
I realize that the raffle was held over a week ago, but I just downloaded a PDF file from the PA Lottery's website that lists the winning numbers in each prize category. I'm surprised by something I noticed, and that's that many winning tickets were sold very late in the selling cycle. I say that because I saw a lot of winning numbers listed that were above 300,000. That said, the 100 dollar winners do seem to have a normal distribution/bell curve of winning numbers.
Three of the four top prize winners had numbers above 360,000. Two of the of the four $100,000 winners had numbers above 359,000. I didn't count them, but it appears that slightly less than half of the $1,000 winners had winning numbers above 313,000. I don't know if this information has any significance or not.
I do know that players (for whatever reason) hold off from buying tickets until the bitter end, and I'm wondering if that can be tied to the large number of higher numbers that won. I cant think of a good reason why that'd be the case, but I'm very tempted to deploy a new strategy of NOT buying any tickets for the next Millionaire raffle until right after Christmas. I know, you're thinking I'm crazy, but it's true!
Holding off on buying raffle tickets until the last minute is not unique to PA. In Connecticut, where up until 2015, they held two "SuperDraw" raffles per year for a top prize of one million dollars, the same phenomenon is seen. This past July 4th, CT did NOT hold a SuperDraw raffle. That maybe due to the fact that for last year's Fourth of July raffle they sold 138,000 tickets out of a max of 275,000. That makes me wonder if they'll hold a New Years Day SuperDraw raffle. Time will tell on that. G5
PS This might make you feel a little better Ron, but FWIW, I run a pool of 8 guys at work and we bought 16 tickets for the New Year 2015 raffle, and 16 again for the July 11th raffle. (A total of $640) We haven't won a dime either!!
I have also noticed this since 2013 ... I have not checked all the way back to the first raffle drawing.
I was going to wait this time and buy my raffle tickets very late or near the end over the last two weeks before July 11th, but I did not ... here are the numbers for the $1 million dollar prize ... it's the only one that I really care about ... but don't get me wrong, I would gladly accept any prize amount, but I play for the top prize with the 1 in 125,000 odds.
If there is another raffle later this year ... I am not buying any tickets till the last two weeks of the game, I had too many early tickets that were worthless ... it's not what the PA Lottery wants to hear. They should drop the tickets sold to 400,000 and offer some early prizes ... like $100 prizes for early buyers of tickets ... I'll take my chances with the later numbers, the past results seem to support buying tickets near the end of the game.
As you can see many of the $1 million dollar prizes are higher numbers ... really a large percentage.

Great historical info CW. Thanks!
As I said in my post, I can't for the life of me see a valid/good reason why it would be the case that tickets sold later in the selling cycle have fared so much better, but the fact remains they have. Do you suppose many players have seen/heard this, and that's the reason why they hold off until just before the deadline to buy their tickets?
While I cant say with any degree of certainty, it does seem to me that this happens in Connecticut too. As you and I have discussed in PM's as well as this forum, players in CT hold off buying SuperDraw raffle tickets too. Can it be that players there hold the same opinion that the higher numbers are preferable? That's not anything I've ever heard anyone discuss, but as you know, I don't live in CT or PA. G5
Play Smart!

Interesting. Makes one wonder if there's some monkey business going on. At minimum, the top 4 millionaire prizes should be drawn manually. Would take a little longer, but likely be more random and easier to verify.
With that said, I don't know if the randomizer is skewed, but will add some more data points that may be helpful for those with much statistical knowledge. Below is raffle #4 to #14 (don't have the first 3).

Interesting. Makes one wonder if there's some monkey business going on. At minimum, the top 4 millionaire prizes should be drawn manually. Would take a little longer, but likely be more random and easier to verify.
With that said, I don't know if the randomizer is skewed, but will add some more data points that may be helpful for those with much statistical knowledge. Below is raffle #4 to #14 (don't have the first 3).

00085098 00168023 00298082 00386921 00498981Thanks Ron for posting the additional information ... I have also noticed the 2nd prize of $100,000 being won with higher numbers.
I was going to post all that information later today but you just did ... thanks.
Both 1st and 2nd prize winning numbers seem to be higher numbers in a larger percentage ... I was going to post about all this in Jan after the New Year's raffle but I didn't think anyone would be interested.
I follow numbers and results and this just stood out in front of me ... I had planned to buy all my tickets for the next raffle (July, just ended) near the end or in the last two weeks but I started buying early.
Never again but now the PA Lottery may read all this and "play around" with the numbers or machine for the next raffle ... maybe they will make lower numbers come out.
That is a great idea ... manually draw the eight top winning numbers ... four $1 million numbers and the four $100,000 numbers.
Just don't like the RNGs for the raffle but that would be OK with me if all the other numbers were drawn with the RNG machine except for the top eight prizes.
I would like to be buying in the 300,000 and 400,000 range ... that would have to be late ... maybe in the last two weeks or less.

Just a small addition to my earlier post ... maybe buying raffle tickets after sales pass the half-way mark or 250,000 tickets sold, would be the way to go.
It seems foolish to buy any tickets very early ... under 100,000 ... there are not that many large prize winners under 100,000.
It would seem buying after 250,000 would be a better bet and maybe only after ticket sales go past 300,000, but there are some high prize winning numbers between 250,000 and 300,000 ... maybe more with the $100,000 prize.
Of course if no one wants to buy the early tickets then a whole new problem exists ... no real sales till the last two weeks of the raffle ... the uninformed and people passing through PA will buy some tickets but the rest of us will be waiting for the higher numbers ... it really could be one heck of a buying frenzy in those last two weeks ... maybe not ... maybe people are just not interested in the raffle anymore, since they didn't sell out this time.
It's also possible that the RNG will be "adjusted" for more lower numbers to win more of the larger prizes. I do not like that idea at all ... tampering, fixing, adjusting ... we are all aware of the trial that was just held for tampering.
Give5 ... in response, I hadn't thought of later ticket buying being because of a better chance at a higher prize. Maybe many people have already noticed this and wait till the final days to buy ... I just always thought it was people waiting till the "last minute" ... even if they didn't realize they were giving themselves a better chance for winning a higher prize.

CW, let me add my thanks to yours to Ron for his absolutely fantastic post!
I cant make up my mind with regard to what to do next time. (If there is a next time and I hope there will be!) My gut tells me there can't be any connection to when a ticket is sold and the winning numbers drawn, but from reading Ron's post, seeing is believing.
Ron, I'm located in NY and live/work about 60 miles from the PA border. It's very easy for me to drive to PA via Interstate 84 in about an hour's time. I run a pool of 8 guys at work and we bought a total of 16 tickets for the January 2015 raffle and also for this last one. Maybe I'll just make one run to Matamoras in December to buy our tickets as opposed to the two runs I have been making. We bought one set of 8 tickets early on in the selling cycle, and a second set of 8 towards the end of the cycle.
Today, one of the guys in my pool and I were discussing this last raffle, and we talked about me making only one run to PA late in the sales cycle for a New Years raffle should there be one. We shared a good laugh after I explained to him it's the higher numbers we want. His response was; "That aint gonna work. With our type of luck they'll be all low numbers in January!" G5
Play Smart!

Today, one of the guys in my pool and I were discussing this last raffle, and we talked about me making only one run to PA late in the sales cycle for a New Years raffle should there be one. We shared a good laugh after I explained to him it's the higher numbers we want. His response was; "That aint gonna work. With our type of luck they'll be all low numbers in January!" G5
G5 - there was something else Ron said in his earlier post ... "With that said, I don't know if the randomizer is skewed" ... or is it showing a strong bias toward higher numbers? So it could be something with the RNG machine. How many other states have made this discovery with their RNG or computerized machines?
Two things we don't know ... is this the same RNG Raffle Machine being used since the Raffle first started ... if not, then how many RNG machines for the raffle drawing have there been?
I am almost expecting lower numbers to be the main large prize winners next time, if the PA Lottery is reading any of this ... I hope the numbers will be truly random. I may also sit the next raffle out or buy only one ticket. I mostly have been buying three but I can buy more if I have some extra money. I just don't think I will ever buy more than three tickets in the future and maybe only two ... probably still near the end.I just know in my mind ... I do not want the very first ticket or the very last ticket !!!

...I think I'm missing something here.
To me, a RNG is a computer program that's used to generate a line of numbers to be printed on a quick pick ticket for an online lottery game prior to a drawing. RNG's aren't involved/used for player picks.
So I'm confused with regard to Ron's comment. Are the winning ticket numbers for each prize category in the raffle generated/created by a RNG? I would think that the winning tickets would be randomly selected/drawn out of a pool consisting only of the ticket numbers that were actually sold. I mean, The PA lottery wouldn't want an RNG to create a winning ticket number of 495123 when a total of 450000 tickets were sold. G5
Play Smart!

I guess this is a two step process ... first all tickets are sold in numerical order from the beginning to the end and then the RNG would pick the winning numbers.
However, this time the total ticket number of 500,000 did not sell out so they had to "adjust" the RNG from 500,000 to what ever the last ticket number sold actually was.
They never had to do that before ... 500,000 worked for years until July 2015. When the raffle first started ... the total tickets sold was 625,000 ... then when those ticket totals were struggling to sell out, they changed the total number of tickets to the current number of 500,000.
So they "adjusted" or reprogrammed the RNG at that time ... who can say for sure, just my thoughts.
