International super lottery to create jackpots of $500 million or moreReply
I'm not even sure that this super lottery game is coming to the USA, or if it does, which states will sell it. Just because they are in discussions does not mean it will happen.

But it can take as long as 45 days to get all the money that you have coming to you! That's because your state has to wait on the other states to send/wire the money they collected (minus their share
