Not missing much. Not many online winners in our FT population.

If you attended the in-person events, you had a better chance.

My family's final total was 3 wins in 120 spins. 22.5k points worth about $300.

Glad to see SOMEONE won on the spinning wheel.

So do I (and any of the others on your team) get any of that?

(... and if not, what was the point of teams?)

Teams split the daily drawing winnings, increasing the probability of a win while decreasing the payout (and possibly avoiding triggering a 1099).

Safe travels!

Looking forward to attending one of the local March events. For folks who've attended:

1) Did you still need to register at swacaliforniamillions.com prior to participating? Or do they just require the RR/SS info if a prize is won?
2) Did they run out of prizes? Reading the rules, it suggests a fixed quota/allotment of prizes per event, while many of them show ~7 hours in duration...

Thanks!

Bizarre. I was just locked out of the California sweepstakes, being told that my northern San Diego zip code is not within California.

I have been unable to register yesterday and today - I get a ""SOMETHING WENT WRONG" message at the top of the form. I've tried multiple browsers, passwords, email addresses, variations on anything I can think of but am unable to register.
