Florida Lottery Petition-Please SignReply
I totally agree with you LosingJeff, a multi-state will give the Florida Lottery the revenue it needs to stay around, don't you guys realize that the Florida Lotto base jackpot is a lousy three million it used to be about eight million ten years and not to mention that sales are not that great. I don't want Florida to lose it's lottery, a multi-state game is the way to go.

MEGAMillion drawing for 3/11Reply

As a rule, if the Illinois Lotto jackpot is large enough for me to play ($10+ million), then the multi-state jackpot has to be at least double the Lotto jackpot for me to play it as well.I feel the same way about CT Classic Lotto now. The annuitized jackpot is 1.5 times

I think it's unfair if they increase the odds when nothing has changed yet with the winning.Powerball has more states involved and the odds are 1 in 120,526,770.To the Mega Millions people: Don't make me open up a can of

CALIFORNIA JOINS MEGA MILLIONSReply
Of the big four, (California, Texas, Florida, and New York) Florida is now the only state that doesn't have a multi-state lottery game with large jackpots. I wonder when Florida will get in on the Powerball or Mega Millions bandwagon.

CALIFORNIA JOINS MEGA MILLIONSReply
Did you guys see what they are doing too. California will be the first state to join a multi-state game and have different payouts for lower tier prizes. By law California has to have para-mutual prizes. So they are not going to have the same amounts that we are so used to. Thats odd. I think California need to do some law changing. Brad
