Calif. lottery director to resignReply
First of all, the Lottery Act DOES NOT in any way prohibit CA from participating in a multi-state game. All the tickets are sold here and all monies received/paid here. The Attorney General (who is a jerk) even agrees - the only one who doesn't are the Legislative attorney - you really believe he's going to tell one of his bosses he's wrong? About time Chon left - the only good thing he did was make them invest the vendor savings they got in the new GTECH contract towards Scratcher prizes. Sti

New Daily MillionsReply
Daily Millions was a multi-state game that involved picking 2 red balls, 2 white balls, and 2 blue balls. Matching all 6 won a million dollars in cash. It showed promise initially, it even had televised draws with a special machine made just for DM. Unfortunately, sales were low and therefore prompted it's replacement with Cash 4 Life, which was based off New Jersey's Lotzee. It started a cycle of less and less original ideas from MUSL.If I was in charge, it would be the same situation. Ball mac

2nd tier MM prize as a progressiveReply
It can't be done in Powerball, because small states would have terrible 2nd tier prizes. It's already being done in all states that offer pari-mutuel prize payouts. In fact, California has pari-mutuel prizes on all games, including SLP. The problem with your theory (other than what I've mentioned already) is that the odds of hitting a 2nd prize in all other games is low enough that there would never be this kind of payout for 2nd place.This is a concept that really only works with Mega Millio

Mega Millions or Powerball?
Mega Millions holds the largest jackpot in June 2000 when it reached 363 million. Powerball with their 5/55 + 1/42 starts with a 15 million dollar starting jackpot with 27 states, D.C., and the Virgin Islands on 8/31/05 [first draw]. Mega Millions with California joining as the 12th state start with a 12 million dollar starting jackpot on 6/24/05 [first draw]. Which one will surpass 363 million jackpot grand prize? What is the highest jackpot sold in a multi-state game individual winner?

Powerball Lottery States Vote to Change GameReply

People who don't like odds above 100 million should stick to one state games. Leave the large jackpots to those who want a chance at them. It would be like me saying that

Winning Powerball lottery ticket sold in PennsylvaniaReply
Yes i have noticed that ..... and I have alot of friends and family in Tn that have also noticed it and they are PO'ed about it too. We have a bet going that the first jackpot won in Tn will be less that 100mill.

Thats what???? 3-4 compared to how many from up north?!?!?!

Help with system - DLM - 2Reply
Tom,Your request for help is confusing. Are you interested in a discussion of ideas on playing the lotteries or attracting paying members to your pool? If you are picking numbers the same way as everybody else, why should anyone be interested in joining your pool? There have been several members mentioned that they run lottery pools, but so far, I've seen no proof that they offer any more than can be gained by starting a pool locally with friends and neighbors that are known and trusted.
