Virginia's New Year's Millionaire Raffle


On December 6th we purchased a Virginia's New Year's Millionaire Raffle ticket for $20. Our ticket number is 394472 -- please send good vibes our way! The winning numbers will be announced at 11:00 p.m. on December 31st. The odds of winning $1M aren't bad -- 1 in 110,000 -- when you compare that to the odds of winning the top prize on a scratch-off, which are more like 1 in 1,000,000.

Virginia's New Year's Millionaire Raffle will have 408 winners. They will be giving away four $1,000,000 prizes, four $50,000 prizes and 400 $500 prizes.

Perhaps we should buy another ticket or two before the drawing. As of right now only 249,287 tickets are remaining. Hmmm...

Wish us luck!

A Christmas Gift for My Husband




For Christmas I bought Tim five Virginia Lottery Maximum Millions scratch-offs at a cost of $20 per ticket. I also bought him 25 Virginia Lottery Win It All scratch-offs at a cost of $2 per ticket. In all, I paid $150.

Out of the five Maximum Millions tickets that I purchased for $20 each, two were winners. He won $20 on one, and $20 on another.

Out of the 25 Win It All scratch-offs that I purchased for $2 each, six were winners. He won $5, $2, $20 (yeah!), $2, $4 and $2.

My Christmas gift to Tim, which cost me $150, won him $75.

His birthday is next week; I wonder what I should get him?

Wish us luck!

A Christmas Gift to Us

Last week a good friend of ours gave us some Virginia Lottery scratch-off tickets as a Christmas gift. I wish we had counted the amount of tickets he gave us, but we didn't. The denominations of the cards were from $1 to $10. We scratched them all and saved the six winning tickets, which we will cash in to purchase more tickets. Here's what we won:

Black Jack (Ticket price $1)
We won $1.

Diamond Dazzler (Ticket price $2)
We won $2.

Dough Doubler (Ticket price $2)
We won $20!

Holiday Treasures (Ticket price $5)
We won $5.

Match 3 (Ticket price $5)
We won $10.

Blazin' Red Hot Cash (Ticket price $10)
We won $20!

We will purchase $58 worth of Virginia Lottery scratch-offs with the winnings. Wish us luck!
