Big Game Picks for 6/29/2001Reply
No, I haven't heard anything new on Ohio joining The Big Game. My guess is that they'll join some sort of multi-state game, but if it's The Big Game, it could take a while longer. That's because The Big Game is set up as a consortium and is run jointly by the seven states. Guessing again, I would say that arrangement is somewhat more complex to modify than the Powerball lottery, which is run by a separate organization.-Todd

My question is if one state (participating in a multi-state game) offers a promotion on the game in which a free ticket is involved, should all states participating in t
