Here is one for the Florida residents:
Scratch-Off 1450 “Fastest Road to $1,000,000”
$30 ticket if you can find it.
As of this morning (sorry about the formatting):
Prize Amt Prizes Remaining
$1,000,000.00 7
$100,000.00 0
$20,000.00 14
$10,000.00 22
$5,000.00 39
$1,000.00 1,011
$500.00 780
$200.00 3,258
$100.00 16,166
$50.00 22,116
$40.00 80,651
$30.00 111,404
Overall original Odds: 1-in-2.79

I estimate the odds of a winning ticket today are about 35.86% and the expected value is $29.00. About 657,000 tickets are available across the state, out of about 42 million originally issued. So they are hard to find.

Looks like a fun one to play without much risk if you can find enough to realize the expected value.
