In the past week, webMillion has unveiled a new web site design and much faster servers. The time it takes me to enter using a 56K modem is almost as fast as on my DSL line, seconds, and a marked improvement over waiting minutes at a time for an entry to be accepted. The new web site design with tabs for each of the games is also easier to read and use. In addition, they have added another hangMillion game. It is now 2 games that you can play daily, including General and Entertainment puzzles. The Click3 game loads faster, making much less likely that I will accidentally invalidate the game by clicking off the site. The Trivia questions seem to have gotten easier, but it may just be my luck that they are asking question I am more likely to be able to answer. Lately, I've been averaging 3 or 4 answers right per day instead of 1 or 2. With all of the improvements that have been made, it takes me less than 10 minutes per day to play all of the lotteries and games that are available on the site. I had stopped participating regularly because they were taking too much time, but now I'm back to being a daily player.
Your chances of winning anything are still very slim. The $3 million dollar lottery has you choose 6 out of 94 numbers, one of the worst odds available in free online lotteries. No one has won the big prize yet. Your chances of winning the other prizes depend on how many people participate that week. On the bright side, webMillion has a liberal referral program where you win if your referrals win. If you have a few friends that would like to play, you'll have a much better chance of winning. I have been paid promptly when I have won and when my referrals have won and their staff responds quickly to inquiries. If you like to play lotteries and sweepstakes, this site is worth a try.
My original review of webMillion, "An Efficient Longshot," is available at http://www.epinions.com/cmd-review-3971-59805C1-38B99D21-prod1 .
