Yeah, but if NY got The Big Game, CT could get revenge when The BG jackpot gets huge! ;-)BTW, I got the Big Game comment from a news article -- I may have linked to it at biggamelottery.com. Can't remember. The mind is always the first thing to go...-Todd

Todd: I live just six miles from Hillary! Anyway, Gov Pataki has said NY should join Powerball (no mention of Big Game). The folks in Greenwich, CT even want NY to get Powerball because if NY got Big Game, Greenwich still would be overrun by Powerball players.

Patrick,Didn't you say you're a NY resident?I heard a bit on the news where Pitaki was very much into new revenue from upstate casinos and Powerball (or Big Game!). But the wonderful Senator Hillary made some crack about not wanting to increase the amount of state revenue coming from gambling sources . What a wet blanket.-Todd

Gov George Pataki says New Yorkers should be able to play Powerball without having to go to Connecticut. It's believed that the state legislature would pass a bill allowing New York to join a multi-state lottery.
