I suppose TX will join NY in requiring Mega Millions players to make the cash/annuity choice when they PLAY, instead of after winning (since Lotto TX players still have to choose between CVO/AP when they buy their ticket).

Lottoscorp,Your argument makes sense. I think it came down to the fact that New York was able to dictate a number of changes that it wanted (even as much as completely changing the game name), whereas I think they would basically have to adopt the PB rules.I think you may want to refrase to say it makes more cultural sense for Texas to go with MM (rather than Ethinic sense ).

TX wants Mega Millions to have a powerplay multiplier. Whether MM would change its matrices already remains to be seen.
