  I have, that 's why I posted. The only thing lotteries and  raffles really have in common is you have to pay for the tickets.

  A raffle is not much different than a scratch off ticket. The difference is that you have to wait for the drawing in a raffle whereas a scratch off ticket you can find out immediately.

  In both cases you don't choose the ticket sequence number (basically the determinant of winners) and in both cases the payback percentage is higher than draw games (generally speaking).

  according to todd and kate, raffles are a valid discussion on a lottery forum. https://www.lotterypost.com/news/356591

  Yes indeed! Raffles are in fact some of my favorite high-stakes lottery games to play.

  You missed a very important point.

  With a top prize instant ticket you have to be in the store where the winning ticket is sent and with the raffles you can buy the top prize winner from any terminal anywhere in that state.
