Let me get this straight. The Lotter allows people from all over the globe to play USA lottos?Reply
The big deal is that it sucks. Like I said, I'm surprised Megamillions and Powerball lotto jackpots aren't split up like 2000 ways every time the lotto is drawn. If everyone in the world is allowed to play our lotto - that's just BS. I want it to be our (USA. screw the rest of the countries) own. But, it hasn't really yet changed to a gobal lotto. When is it scheduled to change? But, has anyone ever seen headlines like: France or Lybia, or Greece wins the Powerball ? Neither have I,

Anybody Playing El Gordo This Year ?Reply
I'm not having much luck getting the right thoughts across ... I will explain, first ... I am not interested in the Federal government making any money on this idea ... I'm only interested in players having a chance at winning a large tax free jackpot. I'm thinking with tickets on sale all year ... the jackpot could be enormous.

Powerball Matrix Change - April 15, 2015Reply
One has to wonder why this thread is still active! Face it, lotteries are in business to make as much money as possible without fear of being arrested for felony theft. Motivated by greed, MUSL called a meeting and asked members to come up with a plan to increase profits, knowing of course that the only way to do it was to make the game harder to win.
