States usually join one of the multi-state games to keep local players in state and to attract more players to their local games. In exchange states pay all the lower tier prizes won in their state and contribute a third of the ticket sales to the jackpot which is usually won by another state. If Floridians aren't going out of state to play lottery games in the surrounding states, there may be very little to gain by adding a multi-game. In fact adding a multi-state game might just reduce sales f

Lottery mega-jackpots generating less 'buzz'Reply
I would really like to see a multi-state game where the top jackpot maybe has a ceiling and when it is reached more money goes into the lower prizes, or a game where the winner base is wider , not potentially one person winning an obscene amount. Mega Millioins has foxed lower prizes, Powerball has made an attempt with the multiplier, but it's still the player paying more for that, so in essence, another lottery within itself. As Badger pointed out, most people won't make $10 million i

The lack of a cash option in GA probably is not the only thing going against it. The top prize is not enough to make someone quit their job, and when there are no 6/6 tickets (most of the time) the jackpot does not roll over. I don't understand why all three Lotto South states got together on your 6/42; KY, a Powerball state, should have joined the MUSL multi-state jackpot game Hot Lotto, which is expanding again, and might be picking up a southern state in November. South Carolina was looking

Lotto Georgia vs Lotto SouthReply
Well, Lotto South is up a whole 1 Million $$$$$ for Saturday's draw, setting the world on fire!!!Proves a high matrix multi state lotto game does not work in Georgia. Why should we lay down to 6/49 odds when we had 6/46 odds that worked perfectly???? Promises of a better game for us didn't work and we're sitting on our wallets again.Lotto Georgia did perform well and will perform again if it is not changed from the original 6/46 once a week format.It would be unique in the southeast and $$$$$

Draw history, does it matter?Reply
Thanks everyone for your feedback. I know it sounds crazy, but after spending over $2,000 on just these 2 groups of 6 numbers, I'm really afraid to change so maybe I shouldn't be looking at the odds or studying past picks unless I want to add another set or 2. I never list my actual numbers (superstitious) but they're very similar.... like 3-8-10-12-19-27 and 3-8-12-19-27-51. The first set I played when the game was 6/49 and changed just one of the numbers when it became a 6/53 game. Then the s

Ghost numbers in the search results...etcReply
Win D,The Tri-state results come out only one time, as it is a true multi-state game. However, Illinois and Iowa are two separate games that share a common result. It is not a multi-state game, even if they share the same number.You had two parts to your original question, and one of them implied that the Tri-State results were shown more than one time. They are not.To the second part, the Iowa/Illinois results, that is something that you're going to have to filter out when you do your analys
