KyleClark Posted August 29, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) 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? Edited August 29, 2015 by KyleClark .

Tricialy Posted August 29, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Not exactly a Jackpot, but my husband won $100 on the Spirit on our first cruise in 2011 - haven't won since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abe3 Posted August 29, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) I play it every cruise. Only won $100 once. Would love to hear someone who has won the jackpot. Edited August 29, 2015 by abe3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
family cruiser 3 Posted August 29, 2015 #5 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) 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 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.

Jane Don Posted August 30, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 30, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleClark Posted August 30, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I wonder how much the cruise line takes off the top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochelle_s Posted August 30, 2015 #9 Share Posted August 30, 2015 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! :-) Rochelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoAndHaveFun Posted August 30, 2015 #11 Share Posted August 30, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowardK Posted August 30, 2015 #12 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Until you took a sip of that wine :eek: LOL. Are you kidding? Some of that wine is $9.99 in real life!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoAndHaveFun Posted August 30, 2015 #13 Share Posted August 30, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane Don Posted August 30, 2015 #14 Share Posted August 30, 2015 The solution is staring us in the face. Use all lottery and bingo money to buy wine. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distinctive-Destinations Posted July 23 #18 Share Posted July 23 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
