I bought about 15 orlando tickets the first few days, but got nothing in return. I dropped it immediately, I got stuck with the heat.. Entered the raffle and won 3 of the fan packs.. Very exciting. Now I buy a couple of each of the 5's have had moderate luck. I am staying away from the newer fives.. Sticking with older ones..

I'm glad Black is gone. I had a bad time with that one. It seems like top prizes go the first couple weeks a new game comes out so I grabbed some Black. Figured I would play until I won. 10 tickets lose, 11th one is 5.00. This happened twice, then when I saw only 1 top prize remaining, I tried one last time, believe it, same thing happened. It was from an ITVM and on 11 counting down. I got them all 11 -00 and only one 5.00 win. I feel Black Pearls will be the same and actually has worse odds I think.
I have been doing much better with the NBA MAgic ticket and still trying for a 2nd chance prize, I would really like to know where that top prize was purchased. I wonder if it was from the Lottery event at the Heat vs. Magic game and then took a couple days for someone to claim it. Orlando blog Mr. Lucky had the info on his site about the event where they gave away extra prizes for every 2 tickets purchased outside the Amway Center.
If anyone hears anything about where that win was, please post it. It sure is secret but I'm thinking it was probably in central florida.
Just an FYI, here are the winner locations/store names fo rthe 5 top prizes on the FL Black game:
Store Name Location
Marathon Ii...........9 Nw Avenue L, Belle?Glade, FL 33430-1969
Jai Ambee Petro Inc...1810 Rockspring Road,?Apopka, FL 32712-2226
Strange that only 2 of the winners were listed on the FL Lottery press releases, I had to go another route to find the locations & store names.
@WISH - If you ever want to know any information regarding winners locations, top prize amounts etc etc...Just email this email address: asklott@flalottery.com
