Mississippians anxious to start playing lotteryReply
for crying out loud just start it in two weeks or so. there will be some corruption no matter how long you wait to implement it. start off with a gaggle of 1.00 and 2.00 scratch tickets and then add a daily numbers game and go from there. every week add another game or announce the joining of a multi-state game. keep the state's people on their toes wondering what game will they add this week. stimulates interest and sales.

Iowa Lottery CEO Terry Rich answers your questionsReply
For a multi-state game, all of the lotteries in that game make the decision together. If it is an in-state game, that lottery makes the decisions and rules regarding its own particular game.

New England's Lucky For Life.Reply
Actually I should qualify the above statement a bit. Prior to March 2012 L4L was only played in Connecticut. When I said there was a JP winner in the first drawing of this game I should have said that there was a first drawing JP winner when the game went multi-state (Including all of New England). Back then the game was referred to as New England's Game until the recent expansion to include other states from all over the US.

Mega Millions Game Coming to Florida?

Powerball Jackpot Jumps to $20 MillionReply
powerball has the trademark of america's game . they also have the patent on the multi-state game, so i'm guessing mega millions is paying the MUSL quite a bit of money. the MUSL should have patented the game style as well. that way, mega millions wouldn't be able to use the same game style.

Ohio Lottery PlayersReply
RJ: Since you live in Ohio, I live in New York, and we're separated by Pennsylvania, those of us who live in one of these states need to push the three state lotteries to allow a multi-state game, and/or improve the marquee jackpot game from each lottery. The NY Legislature prohibits the NY Lotto game from returning more than 40% of sales in prizes, and, the PA Super-6 game does not allow players to select all their numbers (you get three games for a dollar, but, 2/3 of your games must be QUIC
