Florida isn't on the list of states that are confirmed to offer it. I'm in Florida, but that $5 per play horse dung don't thrill me, so it probably won't matter to me whether or not Florida does offer it. We do have Cash4Life, but I never play it. I waste my money on other games like PowerBall. G5

I suspect that Florida 1) doesn't think M4L will fly at $5 a ticket; 2) doesn't need a game with nearly identical odds as Florida Lotto yet a sad bottom line compared to Lotto; and 3) They might be trying to salvage the Jackpot Triple Play game by stretching it out to seven days a week. And, one extra Lotto drawing would more than replace M4L revenue and income. For the life of both games, Lotto has grossed $3.4M per draw after paying out prize money- C4L only $113K.

While I seriously doubt it, could The Florida Lottery actually be thinking It's too expensive and players wont go for it? My money is on this guess... There's a bill authorizing one of the games in The Florida State government that's stuck and it hasn't yet been sent to The Governor for signature. G5
