Virginia Lottery Director Khalid R. Jones appointed as Mega Millions Lead DirectorReply
Hopefully he's intelligent enough to decrease the game price Unlike a lot of people here he's intelligent enough to know that the lottery's only marketing concern is maximizing revenue, and the $5 tickets are probably doing that. I'm pretty certain they wouldn't be changing leadership if they were happy with the current set of changes Did you read the story?
