When I was down east I registered for those high-priced lotteries. Two I remember were the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation lottery (1 in 8 chances to win) and the Cancer Society lottery (1 in 5 chances to win). Tickets were $100 each or 3 for $250. They have a grand prize of $1 or more million dollars and a minimum prize of $100.
If you're going to play the lottery, this is IMHO the best type of lottery to enter. The odds and prizes are excellent.
And don't think this is a habit. I don't bother with 6-49 tickets and I've probably had 5-10 lottery tickets in my entire life, some of them free. Those cheaper ones have terrible odds, a stark contrast to the hospital lotteries.
What is your opinion on this type of lottery? Does anyone here buy these $100 tickets? With those odds, chances are at least some of us know people who have won with these lotteries?
