I am now cured, but I had to learn the hard way.........

A close friend and I split the cost for a Michigan Supper Raffle Ticket this month. I had went out and bought the ticket, but I did not listen to her. I am not a regular lottery enthusiast nor do I play every week She had advised me to go outside the city to purchase the ticket, but I didn't. This was the second time that I had played Supper Raffle and the last time I did it was last fall when I split the cost with another acquaintance. I have never played the Millionaires Game. When I did not win back then, I still did not take my friend seriously about her emphasis on location. However, after checking all the past winning ticket purchase locations of the Super Raffle and the Millionaire Raffle after this last drawing, I do now think there is some validity to her argument.

An avid lottery player and sometimes winner, my good friend believes that the chances for a winning ticket bought in the city of Detroit for a major lottery amount are nil. I did not agree with her at the time. So she suggested that I check online all the purchase locations for those particular lotteries. After doing so, I saw that she seriously had a point. I checked all those seven past lotteries major winners (1 million, 2 millions, and 100 grand). None of the million dollar winners were from Detroit, and only one of the 100 grand winners were purchased in Detroit.

I had read once that the ones least favored to win, are the ones that spend the most money. I was the same fool twice, but won't repeat that mistake again. Although they protest too much, the State of Michigan has to be cleaning up with Super Raffle and the Millionaire Raffle. It is too lucrative for them to stop, and the public (especially Detroit citizens) need to recognize those lotteries for the money sucking scams that they are, and keep their money in their pockets. I know that is what I am going for now on also.
