    Staple them together?

  • http://mdlottery.com rosa

    do you mail all three tickets in the same envelope and sign the back?

  • big allie

    why are all the winning tickets sold in the
    counties, and most of them seem to be in the
    counties near washington d.c.?

  • mdlottery

    Rosa: Yes, we will provide full promotional rules on Monday. Please stay tuned.

  • Jean Campbell

    This is great, another chance to win!!!
    Keep up the good work Maryland Lottery!

  • mdlottery

    big allie: Thanks for writing in. The geographic locations of our winners are random. There is no way to predict where the winners will be. However, research tells us that more winners come from areas of the State in which more people are playing. Feel free to take a look at our winners stories. There you’ll see that we have winners from all over the State.

  • http://verizon.net Alan Hensley

    This game will pay out to winners ,i hope it’s me,way to go md lottery

  • Shiela

    I do not believe that the numbers are randomly drawn also,I believe that the geographical locations do determine the ratio of winners. It does seem that all of the big winners of the big games are from the counties or other states.

  • lillian ness

    i heard that when you have someone draw the numbers you have them draw 3 different times and you use the numbers that pay off the least amount, is there any truth to this… if so, what is up with that you should only pick the numbers ( 1) time and let that be it… i feel like i am being had, along with everyone else who plays the lottery. but then YOU are the ones who are in control of the lottery…not the people spending their money.

  • Tamatha Sponaugle

    Thankyou!!! This looks like it could
    be fun. I am very excited to start
    collecting! <3

  • Matt

    I need to win something… i need a lifestyle change..

    I mail in all my second chances… register for all events .. play big games daily

    I NEVER WIN.. by the time I win i will just be getting my money back… but oh well i gotta keep playing

  • http://phonebook JEAN

    I agree, I am 72 and been playing the lottery since the start. Highest I won was 50 on a Ravens scratch off. Would like to have all the money I contributed to the State Lottery, I would be a millionaire. Couldn’t even win any of the prizes from Ravens fantasy. Guess I am ust a looser.

  • Gregory Mundy

    Hello,

    I was just wondering, how many Marylanders have hit the grand prize on the new Power Ball and the Mega-million?

  • salice romaine hill

    I cant wait to start playing. I feel like it is time for me to win BIG……KEEP THOSE LOTTERY GAMES COMING.

  • marian

    I agree with big allie, it seems as though there are a lot of winners out of the PG County area. This is frustrating and makes an avid player like myself give up on the Md Lottery.

  • jaki

    keep playing, you will win one day! i won several prizes from the Maryland lottery.

  • Cindy

    I love keno. Just one time i would love to win more than $300.00.I always play the bonus but my numbers all seem to come up after the last game I play. I guess I should just stop playing.

  • http://www.mdlottery.com Prem Gautam

    when the prize will be announced or send in a email or winner will be call?

  • Govha

    Two questions: 1) Why do you use the word online? Is it a lack of proper word?. 2)Why do you call the new game the $2 million LOGO hunt – It gives an impresion that one wins $2 million. This is incorrect because you jackpot is just $250 000. Unless if I am missing something

  • angela

    since you win all the time in maryland, what store to do recommend i buy my ticket from in baltimore?

  • Phyllis

    Good Morning,

    It is amazing how you guys come up with so many games & chances to become a winner. I play some of your scratch offs but it’s very disappointing to lose all the time. When I purchase 2 or 3 $20.00 dollar tickets and they are all losers, it clear to me that its all about making the state rich. My only win was a 4 digit number for $5000.00 back in January 28th 1991. How is that for being a LOSER.

  • Troy Higgs

    How will we be able to mail them in if they are a winning ticket?

  • http://marylandlottery rita

    i agree with you i have been playing since the beginning also and have never won anything on these so called promotoins and also ,,YOU NEVER HEAR OF ANY RESULTS OF WHO DOES WIN ,,,,,I THINK NOBODY DOES AND THEY KEEP THE MONEY AND PRIZES ,,, WELL ANYWAY I AM DONE WITH THE LOTTERY JUST A RIP OFF ANYWAY ,,,I;VE PLAYED FOR MANY YEARS AND THE MOST I HAVE EVER WON IS $25.00 DOLLARS

  • JANE MARTIN

    I think that of all the money the Maryland Lottery collect they could let at lease one person in Maryland (beings though its called the Maryland Lottery) win in each county especially when they have the big jackpots let it be a divided jackpot. Maybe I might have a little luck with this one. They sure can come up with some stuff.

  • http://marylandlottery rita

    I THINK ALL THESE PROMOTIONS ARE JUST RIP OFFS ,,,ALL THE WINNERS COME FROM BALTIMORE OR OUT OF STATE ,,,,I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF ANYONE HERE IN ELKTON WINNING ,,,,SO I WILL BE THROWING MY AWAY LOSERS ANYWAY

  • Ethel

    I spend a lot of money on the Keno, pick three and four, as well as the Race trak. I have had the worst luck last year and starting this year. If this keeps up, I will quit. The system needs to be more in favor of the players.

  • http://md george

    so after u mail all 3 in when u get 3more do u still mail them in or u only have to mail 3in one time

  • larry smith

    When I mail in my tickets with logo do I need to enclose any form or just my name and address? Thanks, Larry

  • EVETTE GRAY

    I would like to see a listing of all the four digit numbers which have never hit ‘STRAIGHT’ because I remember the lottery had posted the three digit number like that years ago.

    Thanks

  • http://lottery jerry

    I saved and collected app. A dozen tic’ w/ all those yards and was not eligable to enter the prizes seemed like any of the games? It sucked all those tic’s I bought for nothing?thanks jerry

  • mdlottery

    lilian: We always test our machines before and after each drawing to make sure the integrity of the games are never compromised. Winning numbers have always been – and will continue to be – purely the luck of the draw and a matter of random chance. Numbers drawn for each of the Lottery’s daily drawing games are arbitrary. Every time a ball is drawn, it is an independent and unique event, completely unaffected by what ball was drawn seconds, hours, days, or weeks earlier. In addition, each ball drawn has the same exact chance of being drawn as any other ball in the machine, at any point in time.

  • wendy sue markel

  • Kel

    I have a question. For the free play tickets, does the ticket have to add up to a dollar or do you have to play a dollar game? If I buy a 50 cent play for two drawings, will that count as a dollar ticket and give me the chance to win a free play?

  • Mark/CharmCity

    Is there a **printer friendly** version of the rules anywhere on-site? because away from the screen, that PDF is a JOKE!

  • Matthew

    I have read and understood all the official rules, but did not see where or how I should write my name and address when mailing tickets in. Do I right my name and address on the back of each ticket, one ticket, or on a seperate piece of paper?

  • http://md.lottery Egrim

    Has anyone ever won a jackpot on a subscription?

  • Cole Turner

    when sending the Logo Hunt tickets in, should they be stapled together with a piece of paper identifying the sender? or is there a Lottery form that should be filled out and accompany the tickets?

  • And

    why have you guys decided to stop televising the Bonus Match 5 drawings? Since you stopped, it seems as if the sequence of numbers has changed. I have been playing and studying the drawing for a extended period.

  • Reeni

    I had a winning keno ticket that had a logo, but the clerk said she could not give me the logo back. So do I cut the logo off the ticket before cashing in a winning ticket?

  • joseph

    how is it that if i play keno online just for fun i win big !!!!? then i buy the real ticket and dont win a thing.

  • Mary F. Tocci

    I want to know why I didn’t receive a voucher from the agent at the Stop’n go in Northeast, Md. when the fanfare music went off. I have my Power ball ticket from Feb. 09, 2011. My daughter was with me and we didn’t know what was going on. I don’t play the lottery too often.

  • Raymond

    I wonder who, what or where all of the money received during a week, month or year of the millions of people playing the lottery goes. This is of course the money not won. Can this be answered or is there some place I can find this answer?

  • Ann McNair

    Hi, I’ve been playing before their was a four digit and have never won anything,I play every day hoping one day I will win something,I’ll keep playing the (3) and four every day,I will be 70 yrs old on the 18th and still hoping,no one ever wins in the Landover area,I wonder Why.Thanks

  • http://yahoo Myshel

    Why does a person have to mail their entries? Can’t you guys get up with the times and enter on line?

  • mdlottery

    Reeni: Only non-winning tickets are eligible for entry.

  • john

    on pick 3/4 why cant you check a box number to see how many times it hit. also were do you get the address for the logo game to send in your ticket.

  • David

    Why can’t you get a Powerball subscription?

  • LINDA WILLIAMS

    I wish I could win at least a little. As much as I play the lottery and buy scratch offs. I have never really won anything maybe a dollar scratch off

  • Kevin Matthews

    I live in Washington DC. Can I participate in the subscription for the Maryland lottery?
    If not when will it be made available for non-Maryland residents?

  • http://The$2MillionLogoHunt Phyllis stuck

    in regards to The $2 Million Logo Hunt I played alot on the pick Three daily and only got one wish bone. do you have to play pick 4,and or the others games to get a difference symbol. other words can I get all three symbols (WISHBONE, CIRCLE and STARBURST on just playing the pick 3 ?

  • Eric Barnes

    How many times can you send entries for the contest?

  • andrea fowler

    my comments are regarding the raven scratch ticket game. I noticed that in the last ravens game one of the 1 million dollar tickets was sold in stevensville and then again in the latest scratch game another 1 million dollar ticket was sold in stevensville, and now the winning 20 year season ticket winner was from stevensville. that seems to be too much of a coincidence to me. how can all of big winning prizes come from a small place on the eastern shore. it really makes me suspicious how this can happen

  • Jermaine

    I guess the wishbone logo is the rare one because I keep seeing the other 2!!!

  • http://marylandlottery.com sheila

    I play midday n evening all week, all month, scratch off, keno, mega million, multimatch, and powerful its about time that I get my money back I really done gone broke tryna hit it big, geessshhh

  • mdlottery

    And: Winning numbers have always been – and will continue to be – purely the luck of the draw and a matter of random chance. Numbers drawn for each of the Lottery’s daily drawing games are arbitrary. Every time a ball is drawn, it is an independent and unique event, completely unaffected by what ball was drawn seconds, hours, days, or weeks earlier. In addition, each ball drawn has the same exact chance of being drawn as any other ball in the machine, at any point in time.

    Although every ball has the same exact chance of coming up per draw, random drawings do occasionally produce unusual results. Because of this, similar numbers, the same numbers, or even what appears to be a pattern or sequence may be drawn from time to time. I assure you, however, that drawings conducted are fair and random.

    Feel free to watch all of our drawings including Bonus Match 5 on our website through MDLotteryTV.

  • jen

    I’m confused – I do not see any logo on powerball tickets – where is it? Can you post an image of what the ticket looks like and where to find the logo?

  • http://yahoo Rob

    I often purchase scratch off ticket for my vacation. I had been buying Lucky Lines until the web site said that all the top prise tickets were gone. After some time it was published that a top prise ticket was sold. When do you post that the prises are gone? Is it when the ticket is claimed at the lottery or when the book is sold to the agent?

  • Jennifer Brown-Barron

    I have been buying the Lotto tickets (Mega Million, power Ball), but the only Logo I see is a “small” star burst located on the back of the ticket. Would this be the Logo you are talking about?

  • Danielle

    Finally got the wishbone symbol today mailing in tomorrow i pray I win something!!! by the way how many times can 1 enter the contest?

  • Jennifer Brown-Barron

    I agree with Angela!!..you need help quick!!

  • Matthew

    Same here! I buy between 3 to 5 pick 3/4 tickets a day and I have gotten 3 circles, and 2 starburst so far, but not a single wishbone! Very discouraging!

  • Jackie

    Hello.

    I purchased a Multi Match ticket last evening; and I thought the Wishbone, Circle, or Starburst logo will be on all tickets. Mine didn’t have either. Is this correct or only certain tickets will show the logos.

    Thank you.

  • mdlottery

    Sine: Only tickets bought since the start of the promotion are eligible.

  • mdlottery

    jen: The ticket will look similar to the examples above, however, they will feature your Powerball numbers. Logos are distributed on a random basis throughout all of our terminal games.

  • mdlottery

    Rob: Without more details I can’t speak to your particular instance. What I can tell you is that the new website re-publishes prizes remaining every morning. The website recognizes when a top prize is gone when it is claimed at the Lottery and is updated within 24 hours.

  • mdlottery

    Jennifer: The logos are in black and white, large and on the front of the ticket. Similar to the examples above.

  • mdlottery

    Jackie: Logos are distributed on a random basis. Every game is eligible to receive a ticket, but not all is guaranteed.

  • mdlottery

    David: There are a variety of reasons we have not chosen to launch a Powerball subscription. However, the primary reason is there are on-going discussions on game enhancements. We have decided to hold off on the investment until we know more information regarding the future of the game.

    My grandmother has all three logo symbols and she wants me to mail them in for her. I know nothing about how this works do I have to put her name and info on back of all three tickets ?

  • earline thomas

    i cannot find the rules to send in all of my logos. where do i find them?

  • mdlottery

    earline: You can find the rules within the link provided above in this post or by clicking here.

  • joe d

    I read in the rule that if you get the 3 logos then m,ail in your none winning logo tickets. I had a keno ticke twith a logo finally and it won $1.00. The person at the counter cut the logo off and gave it back to me. Is this logo a non-valid one, since it was on a winning ticket?

  • mdlottery

    joe d: That is correct.

    I had all 3 logos and sent them in but did not sign the back of them but my name is on the envelop and return address was that correct

  • Larry

    Will drawing be live TV, and do you sign each logo ticket.

  • Dom

    I am an avid player of MD lottery, play almost everyday at different locations and have yet to have one logo on any tickets I have purchased. Is this logo hunt game domgraphically restricted to certain areas in MD. IE: Areas closer to baltimore or that Edgewater area?

  • Naomi Sembly

    If I sent more than 3 copies of each logo in one envelope will they be entered in the contest?

  • Muriel

    Why is it called $2 million dollar logo hunt and all you’re giving away is a total of $450 thousand?

  • Frank

    Since the prize is large, i prefer to send a copy of the 3 logos I have and if my entry is selected i prefer to bring in the real tickets with me to win the grand prize. Can i do that? Because if it gets lost in the mail, it’s lost forever, either certified or not.

  • Robert Harris

    I think The $2 Million Logo Hunt is a great game for people who don’t get the opportunity to win the bigger games (Powerball, Mega Millions, Multi Match). I appreciate the Maryland Lottery organization for developing a game that has a better ratio of winners. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to win the Multi Match last summer (5 out of 6 numbers for $1,000), but I want to win the big one some day, and I feel I may get the chance one day with the Logo Hunt game.

  • Veronica

    I understand that if one collects one each of the three different logo’s to mail in that one collection which consists of the 3 separate logo’s with your name, number etc on the reverse side of the ticket.
    However, what constitues a non winning entry? Is this one of the separate logo’s? If so, shouldn’t one wait until March 20th to mail out those single entries because one could get a collection until that date?
    And, if a single non-winning entry is elligible to win the major money (100K, etc), why couldn’t one just separate the collection for better odds of winning.

  • kenneth robinson

    i notice all three logo’s r on different games can htey b all on 1 game such as pick 3 or do u need 1 on each different game

  • mdlottery

    vickey: Only non-winning tickets are eligible in the contest.

  • James

    I have purchased several tickets, I do not see any logo at the top of the ticket. Are these logos printed randomly?

  • mdlottery

    Sharon: All envelopes are combined in a “drawing drum.” The device is rotated, and a blindfolded drawing official randomly selects the winning entries. The drawing is witnessed by many people, including a Security representative and an auditor. The drawing is also videotaped.

  • mdlottery

    James: They are randomly issued. Not every purchase is guaranteed a logo.

  • KATHY

    I HAVN’T BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO RECEIVE ANY LOGO TICKETS YET BUT IN A RECENT POST A LADY ASKED IF THE LOGO’S ARE IN COLOR AND YOU STATED NO ALL ARE IN BLACK AND WHITE. THAT MIX UP COULD OF CAUSED PEOPLE TO THROW OUT TICKETS BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE LOOKING FOR A COLORED LOGO. HOPE NO ONE DID THAT OR IT COULD CAUSE BIG PROBLEMS.

  • Domico Wyatt

    How many entrants are anticipated? I’m trying to figure out the odds of being picked a winner….. I only have one set, but think others may have more.

  • mdlottery

    Veronica: Each entry must consist of three tickets – each with a different Lottery logo (wishbone, circle L and starburst). Each of those tickets must be a non-winning ticket, meaning that the ticket did not win on the Lottery game you purchased it for. For example, if you purchased a Pick 3 ticket with a logo on it, and are using that ticket as part of your entry, that ticket must not have won on the Pick 3 drawing it was purchased for.

    An envelope that does not have three non-winning tickets enclosed will be deemed ineligible. An entry is only eligible when all three tickets are enclosed in the same envelope.

    Also, the final day it is possible to receive a ticket with a logo on it is March 13th.

  • Joe Watts

    I have (6) sets of winning logos. Can I send all of the sets in one (1) envelope

    And lastly what if the ticket is a winner…can I cash it then send in the logo…?

    MD lottery is totaly 100% fraud. The reason is, if we see the megamilioon site for drawing date 03/22/2011 it shows that no one won $ 250,000 and MD lotter websites shows that 1 person is won $250,000. Does some one agree with me after seen the reson so we can fight that please shows right results…. i am waiting from good response. Beacause i spend lots of money in lottery but i never won but i dont know that its fraud. Please rely…….

  • Crystal

    Where can I find the name of the 50 winners of $1,000?

  • http://www.MdLottery.com Rob Karcher

    I wanted to win the grand prize more then you know, but I see that this is not the case! What would be your greatest advice to me of how to win $250,000? A responce of, “continue playing Maryland lottery”, will not be accepted, please reply with a different answer. Thank you for reading my comment and responding.

  • ike

    when will the $1000.00 winner be posted.

  • Dennis Creighton

    Where can i find all the winners that was picked Tuesday.03/22/2011

  • Fancy

    When will the 50 $1000 winners be posted?

  • mdlottery

    Ruth: Ultimately the reasoning is because the process can often be a 2-3 hour ordeal and is not as glamorous as a televised drawing. Also, we simply cannot afford to purchase the airtime needed to show the drawing on television. Rest assured, all drawings adhere to strict procedures and guidelines. They are videotaped and witnessed by numerous representatives, including an independent Auditor and Security Official to keep the integrity of the game in tact.

  • mdlottery

    mary: Our goal is to announce the winners today.

  • mdlottery

    Nicole: No there won’t be another drawing. The prizes for the drawing add up to $450,000. We also gave away over $1.55 million worth of free plays during the promotional period. So all in all, we gave away over $2 million in prizes. Hope this explanation helps.

  • Fiona Higgins

    Approximately how many entries were received in total?

    Why is it I play everyday both midday and evening, and my numbers don’t hit????? I have been playing 921 & 216 for over a year, and neither of them have came out…..Are they being held out???? I really do think the lottery is fixed….Also please get rid of stash is is very annoying….thanks

  • mdlottery

    carol: Thanks for writing in. Winning numbers have always been – and will continue to be – purely the luck of the draw and a matter of random chance. Numbers drawn for each of the Lottery’s daily drawing games are arbitrary. Every time a ball is drawn, it is an independent and unique event, completely unaffected by what ball was drawn seconds, hours, days, weeks or even years earlier. In addition, each ball drawn has the same exact chance of being drawn as any other ball in the machine, at any point in time.

    Please feel free to take a look at our numbers archive. There you can research your numbers to see when they’ve come out in the past.

  • mdlottery

    Karen: No it does not. The validation process takes some time. We have 50 names with three tickets in each entry so it does take some time. We will publish names as soon as possible.

  • mdlottery

    yogesh: Thanks for writing in.

    I cannot speak to the information provided on the Mega Millions website. I can speak to the information you see on our website; specifically in our Mega Millions detailed results page for March 22. I have checked with our IT department and drawings manager and the information provide is correct. The winning ticket was sold at Friendship Liquors in West Friendship, MD.

    If you have any other questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to write in.

    So there’s still a small chance. Thank you for responding so quickly. I play often and have won, but not over $500. So if I win, it would mean that my luck is improving. Thanks again.

  • Crystal

    If the winners of the $1000 prize does’nt make it to Baltimore Today will they have extra time to claim there prize or will they forfeit it ?I ask this ,because the names have’nt posted yet .

  • mr baltimore

    Yeah no doubt about it MD lottery is without question fixed I mean why did it take this long to pick 50 players but hey Baltimore is on top once again. got Damn bmore is where its at to win people!!!!!!

  • mdlottery

    Crystal: Winners were just posted.

  • Sandra

    I would like know why there is never a winners in Southern Md. area? The winners alway seem to be in Baltimore or some other area.

  • jerry

    i did not get a response i question to if i sent my tickets in the wrong size envolope because i was unaware of the size envolope that was required would that have effected my chances at being in the drawing

  • http://mdlottery.com Sandra Baker

    There are ALWAYS, ALWAYS, TOO many winners from Baltimore. Too often!!!!! UNFAIR to others that do not live or play in Baltimore!

  • Doretta

    Is it me or does Baltimore get more winners than any other part of Maryland. I must have sent in atleast 15 entries.

  • jerry

    all i want to no is if my tickets ever made it to lottery headqauters because if not somebody needs to look into what could be some wrong doings because the way i see it maryland has aloy of citys and alot of people who iam sure mail in entrys besides bmore and they had like 20 or 21 winners out of fifty-three alone something seems very weired about that to me

  • shane

    i play every game the lottery has too offer pick 3/4 mega millions power ball scratch offs keno horse races match 5 multi match and i think i must have the worst luck then anyone in maryland i cant seem too hit anything the biggest i ever hit was $40 …lol i think maybe i need too give up..

  • Jim

    WHY do all of the big contest winner come from Baltimore,Glen Burnie, Dundalk, Just like Logo Hunt. 45% Balitmore ????????

  • April Veasey

    I just think its pretty sad that all the winners are from baltimore.I think you should have a limit on how you pick names.There should be some from each city like elkton.I mean come on!

  • http://windowsinternetexployer vickey k. diaz

    To all the winners, I wish you the best!!

  • tai nguyen

    I don’t know why every time drawing the tickets for second chance, it is almost all winners from Baltimore (every game). I don’t think whenever the person drew the envelop out, he or she did not mix well. Maybe anyone is lucky and the envelopes stay on top will be picked. How can you mix all the envelop well from top to the bottom? Please tell me how your procedure to draw. thanks.

  • Ty Ty La

    I just dont think it will ever be me I have no luck with the Md lottery but yet I have spent thousands of dollars just tryna to get outta the getto out of debt and im just a big loser when it comes to this bad habit I picked up as a small child from my grandmother I wish I never would have picked up the habit I have so much faith in yet have the md state lottery dont see wht I hve lost all behide something that has took rent money bill money period thanks any way I was always told you have to play to win

  • Dick Horn

    Truly amazing that 22 of 53 winners were Baltimore applicants.The total prize paid out was $450,000 where is the other $1,550,000
    of the 2 million dollar logo search? I guess it went to lottery employees in BALTIMORE too.

  • Tina

    This is always how it works. Always north only three in southern MD. We always donate and Baltimore and north always get rich.

  • aletha b. moore

    why do always winners in baltomore or

    counties around baltimore wins?

  • Charles L. Rasin Jr.

    I have said it before and will say it again, most of the winners are from Baltimore. This just proves my point. When the game was going on, we in Glen Burnie could not get any wishbones. I talked to a lot of people who work the lottery and who buy tickets that said, they could not find a wishbone.

  • K.Bennett

    Fixed? Rigged?
    Again most of the winners are from Baltimore

    Randomly selected… I don’t think so.

  • http://The$2MillionLogoHunt Phyllis stuck

    Way to go to all the winners
    I think they should posted the live drawing on the internet website so That we can feel that we apart of that drawing and that we didnt feel this was fixed
    I am having the same feelings as everyone else something is not right here doent matter what game you have I played and I have spent alot of money I am done Did need to hire Back the man That was making Dreams possible Why did they let him go to DC I have spent 25.00 a day and have not hit in two years I am done now instead of playing I just going to Put in a saving account

  • Mike

    How many people entered the logo hunt contest? Seems like every one of these contests I enter, I never win. I thought this was a random drawing of submitted entries, but again, it seems everyone’s in 1 area. Can that many people in one city really play so much that they take over the random prizes too?

  • nathaiel thomas

    Just asking if the winners on each winning draw doesn’t respond at all do mdlottery re draw other people names.

  • FlashFord

    Most retailers didn’t no the correct information on how to submit the tickets. All three tickets filled out with info or the group of three? I hope in the future MD lottery would be more clearly on it’s promotions, at least have it printed on the tickets.

  • http://n/a SHARON MARABLE

    I PLAYEDTHE LOGO GAME SENT MY ENTRIES IN USING THE ADDRESS FROM A POSTER IN THE LOTTERY STORE. THE POST OFFICE SENT THEM BACK SAYING THAT THE ADDRESS WAS WRONG. I WENT BACK TO THE STORE AND DOUBLED CHECKED. I
    WAS CORRECT. WENT TO THE POST OFFICE TO INQUIRE. WELL SHE WAS NOT NICE. HOWEVER, SHE SAID THEY WOULD TRY TO REDELIVER. I HOPE THEY GET THERE. I HOPE I WIN.

  • Statistic Keeper

    Delhi Thweatt Jr must be very lucky. His name always pops up as one of the winners in your second chance promotions. Last year, Thweatt Jr and Sr won on your internet promotion.
    Strange isn’t it?

    I had mailed 2 sets of tikets well before the due date, that means among the 361 responses i had 1 out of 181 chance to win but won nothing among 50 winners. How can I be assuered that my tikets were there. I have copy of the tikets to prove it, I want some ansewer.

    I have been playing MD lottery since 1994 and I have hit the 3 way, 4 way and Keno. But, it seems as if for the big promotional games such as this one, if you do not reside in MD, you do not stand a chance of winning! I submitted 12 envelopes of rounding up the logos and mailed all 12 envelopes from MD – duh!!

    jerry: In all likelihood your entry was included in the drawing. However, if your entry was selected and deemed to be over sized it would have been disqualified. We encourage that for any second chance contest that you read the official rules before entering so that they are followed appropriately. The last thing we want is to select a winner and have them disqualified for an over site in the rules. Good luck in the future.

    Secondly, although the grand prizes total adds up to $450,000, we called it the $2 million logo hunt because throughout the life of the promotion we gave out more than $1.55 million in free game plays for a total of over $2 million back to players.

    Lastly, as MSLA employees we are unable to play any Lottery games so none of the money goes to us. Any prizes that go unclaimed from all of our games go into the “unclaimed prize fund”, which by Maryland state law is required to go back to players through promotions like this.

    Hope this helps. Good luck in the future.

    why are most of the logo winners located in baltimore not playing any more md lottery games

  • Antoinette Smith

    Im from Temple hills area I mailed in 25 envelopes of non winning tickets and nothing the majority of winners are always in Baltimore where the Head Quarters is

  • bernice

    These games are all rigged to collect as much money from the players as possible and pay out as little as necessary. I noticed that even at the drawings for pick 3 or 4 , they use to show you all the balls 0-9 before they pop up, now when you see the drawings, all the balls are already jumping, which tells me that in order to control what numbers will come out, the balls are not 0-9 in all the holders, it could be 0-3 or 0-6 or all the same numbers in any container.. Believe me, the lottery does not leave any of these games to chance, it is all pre-arrange, even those promotional drawings.Notice how most of these winners are from Baltimore? It is call keeping the money (tax dollars) where the game is played!

    Thank you

  • http://$2milliondollarlogohunt. Sharon in Baltimore

    I too sent in many entries to the logo hunt. I have also sent in many, many livin lucky entries. Please do not blame the people of Baltimore if they are being selected as winners. I live in Baltimore City and I did not win either. Over 40K entries did not win. I am certain that the majority of those entries are from Baltimore which would be the reason that the majority of people who won were from Baltimore. I also paired up with a girlfriend who lived in Glen Bunie and she was the one who was able to locate the wishbones of the trio. If I felt these contests were rigged, I would be very concerned that my 80 or 90 entries (which is a considerable sum) in the livin lucky contest are going to be discarded due to this website. If you track that website…you will find that the locations of winners are quite diverse. You do not have the right to try and demand that no more winners from Baltimore should be drawn. If the people of Baltimore start feeling as if they do not stand a chance, there would be a huge loss in lottery revenue. Again, I do live in Baltimore and I know everyone that I spoke to around here was playing some sort of lottery game. Where do you draw the line? I have the right to win and again, I have spent alot of money trying. Thank you

  • Mr. B

    To all the lottery players:

    In May of 2000, I used to play 1111. I used to keep $10 a day on them. I had stopped playing 2 weeks before the number actually came out May 17 2000. I lost $50,000. I guy I know who gambles everyday told me that I was not a true gambler because I should’ve had the number in everyday. I told him I couldn’t afford it anymore. And the day I didn’t play, the number came out. What I learned out of this: The house never loses and the lottery is a poor man’s game. Good luck and keep playing, I sure do because I know one day I’ll hit big

  • William Hopkins

    It is strange that Baltimore players received 21 or 42% of the winners and only two other Maryland jurisdiction receive two winners,that’s Columbia and Landover. All other jurisdictions receive only one winner.
    Were the Maryland logos flooded in Baltimore? Some examination or explanation is needed!

    M Brooks: The Lottery’s television partner is WBAL-TV Channel 11, one of Maryland’s most watched stations. While there are some regions of the State to the east and west that WBAL cannot reach, the station’s strong signal reaches the majority of Maryland’s viewing audience. Unfortunately, the farther from Baltimore one lives, the more likely it is that the local cable company carries channels other than those broadcast from Baltimore. While WBAL’s signal can be easily picked up by non-cable televisions, the decision to air other programming by the area’s local cable providers may render our drawings unavailable to viewers subscribing to cable.

    In addition, the video of the drawings you see online at MDLotteryTV is exactly what is broadcast on WBAL-TV.

    nathaniel: Yes. We picked alternates after the original drawing. If anyone doesn’t claim by May 23rd, we’ll move on to alternates.

    To give the people on this website and insight as to the comparison of people winning in Baltimore versus other areas of the state…when I went into work this morning, I asked everyone if they played the lottery. Every co-worker that lived in Baltimore admitted to playing the lottery as compared to 1 in 5 of the others who lived in different parts of the state. One suggestion I have for the lottery is this, perhaps in the next “second chance” drawing they could offer 250 one thousand dollar prizes and 1 $50,000.00 prize. Spread the wealth a little further. I would have enjoyed winning that. I play to win, I also play because it is fun. It is a game of “chance”. I hope the next time there will be more winners due to more prizes. That would be GREAT!!

  • Reggie Adams

    Why is most of the winners located in Baltimore for drawing, scatch off’s, and most of the games. Do I need to go to Baltimore and buy my Maryland Lottery to have any chance of winning? Also When is the second chance drawing for the Set For Life and Plantinium drawing going to take plance

  • Reggie from Germantown

    Do Gaithersburg, Germantown, and Rockville have any chances of winning any of the big games ever.

  • mdlottery

    Reggie: The geographic locations of our winners are random. There is no way to predict where the winners will be. However, research tells us that more winners come from areas of the State in which more people are playing. Please take a look at our winners stories. There you’ll see that we have winners from all over the State.

    THANKS

  • mdlottery

    Maurice: With over 45,000 entries into the Logo Hunt contest, we do not have the man power to confirm receipt of your entry. If in the future you want confirmation of receipt for a mail-in contest, we suggest sending the entry in through USPS certified mail. There is an increased cost associated with it, but you will receive confirmation that your entry has been received.

  • Jim Clements

    why do you post 436 respond to 2 Million Logo Hunt, then tell someone else that you had over 45,000 entries, Is that all that qualified 436. Please explain .

  • mdlottery

    Jim: 436 is the number of comments and questions on the web page related to the $2 Million Logo Hunt. It has nothing to do with the number of entries that were mailed into the Lottery.

  • CMK

    Hello,
    I had 16 sets of of the Logo’s sent in. I did not win, so if you sent less and won consider yourself lucky, if you sent more in than 16, then consider yourself unfortunate as me.

  • P Gurbel

    scroll up from here, under the $10 instant winner example, is a colulm entitled tags.
    what are these?
    why are they listed?

  • pat

    I have said for years that i felt that it was crap, where the # of top prize winners are . the scratch tickets and th other “game of chances” THe state and lottery is trying to keep the money in Baltimore , of Balt. is richer then rest of the state they spend MORE MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HA

  • P.Brown

    It is so amazing that no one from DC won anything and I’m sure you had DC resident to send in ther tickets like myself.

  • http://aol b brown

    I’m not surprise that most of the winner are from the Baltimore area.

  • alice c dyson

    i have played the lottery for more then 30 years. I know that i am going to win something someday.

    P Gurbel: A “tag” is a keyword or term that we assign to a web page like this. This information helps describe an item and allows it to be found again by browsing through the website or searching it. It’s a useful tool for us internally so we can easily track content. It is also helpful for players so they can search for topics they are interested in.

  • Patricia Tolson

    I have never heard of the logic that the Maryland State Lottery gives to player outside of Baltimore and any touching counties- that they have more players- that is a bunch of crap –you know that “The State of Maryland shouldbe investagated for running a illegal gambling game. with the odds being fixed. If its not Fixed show everyone the real satistic of how many entries and from where they came. I DARE YOU !!! DO THIS ON ANY SECOND CHANGE GAME.
    GO AHEAD PROVE ME WRONG.

  • mdlottery

    Patricia: Maybe this explanation can shine a little light on the subject.

    Winning numbers (Pick 3, Pick 4, BM5, Multi-Match, Mega Millions and Powerball) have always been – and will continue to be – purely the luck of the draw and a matter of random chance. Numbers drawn for each of the Lottery’s daily drawing games are arbitrary. Every time a ball is drawn, it is an independent and unique event, completely unaffected by what ball was drawn seconds, hours, days, or weeks earlier. In addition, each ball drawn has the same exact chance of being drawn as any other ball in the machine, at any point in time.

    Winning scratch-off tickets are distributed randomly throughout an entire game. If the average chance of winning a prize is 1:5, this does not mean there is an automatic winner within every five consecutive tickets. There is no pattern as to where winning tickets will occur. The odds on the back of the ticket are the ‘overall odds,’ which is best described as the ratio of winning tickets to non-winning tickets from all tickets printed for the game.

    For monitor games (Keno and Racetrax), the computer system that selects the winning number is a completely different system than the one that is accepting numbers from players.

    With that said, all Lottery games are purely the luck of the draw and are simply a matter of random chance. When taking into consideration all Lottery games it simply comes down to overall probability. Because the population is higher in Baltimore and a few other parts of the state, more tickets are being bought, which results more winners from those areas. Please take a look at our winners stories. There you’ll see that we have winners from all over the State.

  • David Hardy

    I’M in agreement with a lot of others. What do you do when the entries come in,look at the return addresses and determine which ones go in the drawing. I have yet to see very many if any from the Eastern shore win any big prizes in second chance drawings. I watch people around the Snow Hill area play the lottery every day and I beleive that they play just as much and faithfully as anywhere else.I’ll bet when the figures come in it shows how much we play. C’mon now let’s be practical and fair we deserve to win too!!!

  • Patricia Tolson

    you must have this statement as your mission statement”there are more players in baltimore and surrounding counties which make the odds of winning greater” I know a man who plays over $180 worth of numbers a day and over the last three years has only won six times 2 times straight three digit and remaining times box, and plays all the big games mutli match/match 5/ power ball/ ten dollares at a time and only winns $2/$3. and I am sure there hundreds of people in the county who play just as much. Hardesty in new burg maryland has people from va who play list for others totaling up to hundreds each day. never heard of odds like that not having any big winners like baltimore and surrounding counties, PS. you reply said nothing new still same old mis-spoke facts !!!

  • C. Bishop

    My question is like many others, Why just the Balto.area? I moved to Pa., and there alot Pa’ers work in Maryland and buy Lottery, don’t see many winners from Pa. and how come it is’nt mandatory that a $1.00 should pay atleast $2.00. Let’s hear about that question,Buyers.!!!!

  • learn

    not defending the lottery or anything, but if you see that people are winning more in baltimore, rigged or not, start playing more in or close to the baltimore area. I also advise people to save and invest. Depending on anything regarding chance is not a good idea, you gotta have a back-up plan.

  • mdlottery

    C. Bishop: Thanks for writing in. We get this comment a lot. People living in Baltimore believe all the winners are elsewhere and vice versa. Truth is the geographic locations of our winners are all random. There is no way to predict where the winners will be. However, research tells us that more winners come from areas of the State in which more people are playing. Please take a look at our winners stories. There you’ll see that we have winners from all over the State.

  • Karen

    I agree that the big winning tickets and “distributed randomly” but around the Baltimore area … hence, the reason why there are so many winners in Baltimore. If they were distributed randomly in other areas of the State, there would be more winners in other areas as opposed to Baltimore only.

    Also, in regard to those spending their mortgage/rent and other bill money in hopes of winning, please STOP! Especially if you have a family to support because losing everything is not worth the risk. Pay you bills first and then play only if you can. Not everyone who spends their last three dollars on a scratcher (as one story has it) will win … well, that is unless you live in Baltimore.

  • John

    The Livin lucky is at 90% why is the drawing not untill 12 May?????

  • tyrone

    Why is the Maryland lottery drawings only broadcasted on a Baltimore station? I think all Maryland lottery players should be able to watch a live broadcast of the drawings.

  • mdlottery

    tyrone: The Lottery’s television partner is WBAL-TV Channel 11, one of Maryland’s most watched stations. While there are some regions of the State to the east and west that WBAL cannot reach, the station’s strong signal reaches the majority of Maryland’s viewing audience. Unfortunately, the farther from Baltimore one lives, the more likely it is that the local cable company carries channels other than those broadcast from Baltimore.

    With that said, you can view all of our drawings as they are seen on WBAL-TV online at MDLotteryTV.

  • mdlottery

    John: Multiple factors played into the decision. The primary factor is that the game was 88.75% as of last week and we wanted to give players ample time to get their tickets entered in for the next drawing.

  • http://tracfone k.e.w sr.

    It looks like that response to the geographical winning is automated. It said the same thing to everyone who posed the question of why there are more big winners on the western shore.

  • mdlottery

    k.e.w sr: The response is not automated. We reply to each comment that warrants a response. As you can see this is a comment we get a lot. Unfortunately there is no other way to explain it. The probability of winning is higher in larger populated areas like Baltimore as more consumers are playing.

  • franklin west

    why does it seem like all the winners are from the baltimore area? nothing from lower maryland… i think this game is fixed after all the years i have played!!!

  • ray

    Regarding the logo promotion, if the promotion was for 2.5 million in prizes, then why do the announced winners only add up to $450,000.00? Where did the rest of the money go?

  • http://www.marylandlottery betty

    i am prying that god bless me to with a big winning number so i an live confortable

  • http://www.MdLottery.com Rob K.

    ARE YOU SORE LOSERS CRAZY!? Baltimore City has the poorest people in Maryland! Thats why so many play the lottery, hoping to win big! I lived in Baltimore most of my life, I always said, “money goes to money” because thats what it seemed to me.”Rich people who don’t need the money always win”. “THATS THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Poor people in Baltimore City never win the big prizes, Thank God someone from the city won a drawing. THE LOTTERY IS ALL ABOUT YOUR OWN LUCK. I hate the digital game KENO, because I think it’s controlled, but I play it everyday. Somedays I get pissed off, except the days I win, go figure.

  • mdlottery

    ray: The promotion was titled the $2 Million Logo Hunt because throughout the course of the promotion we gave away a combination of over $2 million in prizes and instant free play vouchers.

  • Shay

    I live in Baltimore and I am hoping that my odds are just as good as anyone elses. It would really concern me if suddenly there were no winners in Baltimore. I have had faith in the Maryland lottery system and have played for years. I guess everyone feels that it should be “their” turn to win. I too hope to win one day.

  • Steve

    25 out of 50 winners were from Baltimore! 1 winner from Montgomery County (Rockville). What a RIP-OFF!!! So biased is the Lottery in Maryland.

  • Zeldalynewilliams

    what were the numbers for January 25, 2010 for multi match and how can i find this answer on the internet.

  • Anonymous

    Zeldalynewilliams: You can use our winning numbers archiveto find past winning numbers.

    Keep in mind that Multi-Match was previously drawing on Wednesday and Saturday and a drawing did not occur on 1/25/10.
