Paradise Lotto-any Jack Pot winners?

[KyleClark]

Has anyone ever hit the Jack Pot? I see NCL promoting winners that hit slot machine Jack Pots but never Paradise Lotto big winners(as far I know). Anyone know of any JacK Pot winners?

I won $100 on the Jewel last November.

[Tricialy]

Not exactly a Jackpot, but my husband won $100 on the Spirit on our first cruise in 2011 - haven't won since.

I play it every cruise. Only won $100 once. Would love to hear someone who has won the jackpot.

I was on the Getaway June 2015. The casino announced that it was $755,000. I asked at the players club when it was last won. I was told the Paradise Lotto Jackpot was last won in 2013. Lisa

The odds of getting 5/5 numbers from 80 is 24 million to 1.

 

Theoretically, if they sell say 4000 tickets per 7 day cruise, one could expect a winner once every 115 years.

So...you're saying there's STILL A CHANCE!

 

(Dumb and Dumber)

[KyleClark]

I wonder how much the cruise line takes off the top?

[rochelle_s]

I have never won any cash from the draw but on several occasions I have won a bottle of wine in the second chance draw. I count that as a win! :-)

Until you took a sip of that wine :eek:

I still remember when I was on the Getaway last year, this one casino worker kept telling me to buy the Paradise Lotto Ticket cuz one left blah blah. Finally, I bought 3 lotto tickets and didn't win anything. Needless to say, I haven't bought a lotto ticket since lol

[HowardK]

Until you took a sip of that wine :eek:

 

 

LOL. Are you kidding? Some of that wine is $9.99 in real life!!

I know they give out champagnes as well and I have always wondered how much those champagnes are

[Jane Don]

The solution is staring us in the face.

 

Use all lottery and bingo money to buy wine. :p

The odds are 5/5 from 60 numbers way easier to hit thatn has been mentioned, it is not 5/5 from 80; it is 5/5 from 60!

 so its only 1 in 5,461,512.....what do they pay for a winner?

[Distinctive-Destinations]

Assuming it is 5/5 out of 60. Lotto so the number gets removed.

1 in 60 chance of first number, 1 in 59 in second, 1 in 58 on third, 1 in 57 on 4th, 1 in 56 on 5th.

 

1/ (60x59x58x57x56) = WASTE OF MONEY.

 

Or also 1 in 655,381,440 chance.

It is actually 5 in 60, 4 in 59, 3 in 58, 2 in 57, and 1 in 56

Jeff is right, about 1 in 5.5m, still a waste of money.

If it is 60 balls, the first pull has 59 bad balls, and only one good ball. Not five. 

 

Unless this is some wacky 5 balls on one pull or other scenario.

You choose 5 numbers which can be drawn in any order so the first ball has 5 chances for you to be right, the second 4, the third 3, and so on. 

 

Also, I searched and couldn't find the jackpot size but I did see the rules which stats that a winner has the option of taking 50% now or have it paid over 40 years so whatever the amount divide by 2.

Okay in that case, my calculation was indeed wrong. I was doing “normal” lottery picking odds.
