Mega Millions lottery tickets double to $2 starting in OctoberReply
On the contrary, many players do, which is a dilemma for lotteries overly reliant on PB and MM. More savvy lotteries are increasingly pushing in-state jackpot and regional numbers games, such as Cash4Life, etc. While most occasional, casual lottery players will play MM / PB with little regard to price nor a care in the world of the odds, regular players are the ones the lottery needs to bring in and retain day to day, week to week to keep the cash flowing in at a steady pace. The $1.5 billion

Indiana Powerball winner claims $435 million jackpot anonymouslyNews Story
Winner takes home $189 million lump sum cash payout after taxes By Todd Northrop At an afternoon press conference, the Hoosier Lottery announced that a Lafayette man claimed a $435.3 million Powerball jackpot that was drawn in February.

Idaho Lottery-winner secrecy bill headed to House floorReply
If the California legislature does something like this than other States will fall in line. California is a political leader in a lot of past laws. The other States followed California when Proposition 13, the real estate tax revolt passed by the vote of the people. It is a Constitutional Amendment. California Lottery Commission will release the name of the winner, the name, and location of the store where the ticket was purchased, the amount won, and how the winnings were claimed- Lum
