Todd Graves is buying one ticket on behalf of each of his 50,000 employees

BATON ROUGE, La. (WVUE) - The founder of Raising Cane’s is buying a $2 Mega Millions ticket for each of his employees as the jackpot grows to the fourth-largest prize ever.
The next Mega Millions drawing will be held Tuesday, July 26. Lottery officials have raised the grand prize to $810 million. The prize has grown large because there hasn’t been a winner in three months, from its $20 million starting point in April.
Todd Graves is buying one ticket on behalf of each of his 50,000 employees. If any of the tickets wins the mammoth prize, he says every Cane’s employee stands to win thousands of dollars.
“As soon as we heard how big this jackpot prize is, we couldn’t miss out on the chance to win the Mega Millions jackpot and share it with our Crew who always stand together,” Graves said. “None of what we do at Cane’s would be possible without our Crew, which is why we are always looking for ways to bring them a little extra fun, and if we’re lucky, a surprise on Wednesday morning.”

Now imagine being the employee that has to go through 50000 tickets to find all the winners.

A creative marketing campaign that also gets the employees hopes up. Gotta admit it is pretty smart.

cash prize is about 60% of the total jackpot...then apply taxes

would be better if he bought 50k tickets and gave 1 to each employee.
i wouldn't trust the ticket checker to be honest enough to say 1 of the tickets was a winner.

$6 grand minus the 30% smaller size. They call it Nugget Math.

odds are better to get something that way rather than each getting just one ticket
company gets to use it as a great tax write off and the company gets free publicity from it

Dunno if they are stil together but his wife in 2008ish would bring Raisin' Cane to the OLOL Children's hospital to visit patients. She and Cane were delightful

What happens if all 50,000 tickets are losers, but the one he bought for his wife wins?
Posted on 7/25/22 at 2:46 pm to stout
What is gonna suck is having to split that one free ticket they win 50,000 ways
Posted on 7/25/22 at 2:46 pm to Shexter

If he wanted to potentially piss off 49,999 employees, sure.
