After submitting 319 entries into a second chance drawing for the $5 Price it Right ticket, I was notified that I had won two "showcase prize packs" by the lotteries forfillment agency. This my biggest effort to win using second chance drawings and while I am happy to have won, I am surprised I only got two prizes. The listing of winners posted on the Mass Lottery site included folks who won as many as 20 times! (they give away 1600 prize packs per drawing as well as 6 trips to Vegas + cash) Based on my success rate ( 1 win per every 160 entries), to win 20 times you would have to enter nearly 3000 tickets. I am sure the drawing is computerized and entirely random but WOW, the entry process is not too simple as you must enter a 16 digit number for each submission. Anywho, here is part of the email I was sent and the prizes I can choose from. I am gonna take the luggae as I need a set and the music/money package as it includes $100 cash and another chance to win a Vegas trip or to go to Lottery Headquarters to spin a Price is Right replica big money wheel. I wish continue gambling success to each of you...
