Rebeckah:PB is a generic term for two-drum games. Look for Texas to join Mega Millions.

Well, I think it would *naturally* become a smaller JP..... more Texans would place their dollar on Powerball rather than TX Lotto. As for the TLC changing the game again, I'm sure they will within 5 years anyway. They've had 3 different *pick 6* games within the 5 years I've lived here.

Rebeckah:TX would simply need to make Lotto Texas a smaller-jackpot game (maybe 6/50 again).

Hopefully the inclusion of a multi-state game will encourage TLC to make Texas games easier to win..... I can dream can't I? LOL

Message to Eddie:You got one number right 39 which was better than I did.Message to Todd:I can see both sides of the PB/MM issue. If we take MM, then we can draw people from Eastern NM and Western Oklahoma. We can always drive to San Jon to play Powerball which becomes a community dvent here in Amarillo when the stakes are high. It really doesn't matter which one we choose, the odds are still astronomical.Orangeman

orangeman,Well much to Todd's chagrin, I'd say PB is the better game. Mainly because of the Power Play feature (for $1 extra you can multiply your winnings by either 2, 3, 4, or 5). So for $2 it's possible to get $35 for matching 3 white or 2 white + PB.

I for one hope TX joins MM, which is the game of choice for states with big populations.

Texas Governor Rick Perry signed the bill authorizing Powerball in Texas. The TLC will have a news conference on it this afternoon.Orangeman
