Lottery?

[lurkster]

Are they legit?

Anyone know somebody that won?

I assume the same company runs all lotteries on all fleets, and do they reset it to min on regular basis or only when it is won?

If I may ask, what are you asking about? I've not seen a lottery on a cruise ship.

Just off the Gem and they had something similar to Powerball called "Paradise Lotto" -- think it cost around $2 and they drew numbers each night but like Powerball you had to match all 5 numbers to hit the jackpot which was aound $365K when I got off the ship. Not sure if it was connected to all NCL ships or ALL cruise lines?

Thats a very good question. I was on the Gem last January and actually bought 1 ticket for it. Didnt win anything!:(

Believe it was around $308,000 on the RCI Serenade around Dec. 8th.

Haven't seen anything like this on Princess. Not that I looked for it, but I can't imagine it wouldn't have been ballyhooed over the casino PA system if it existed, like the tournaments and bingo.

 

Second thought - there was a sign near the entrance to the casinos - something about a BMW. But I didn't really pay attention. If there were announcements, they'd have gone in one ear and out the other.

 

Shalom and Happy New Year. Andy.

it was on explorer of the seas earlier in december,mid 300k range was the jacktop. A coworker of mine that was onboard said he hit 3 numbers twice during the week getting $100 each time I believe.
