Powerball in New YorkReply
I hope more states enter these two games adding more sales into higher jackpots, but the jackpots are being won fairly soon in PB without going over 200m even with those higher odds. I mean there were just five 2nd prize winners, and one of those had the correct powerball for the jackpot and the roll is done already. I think they need more drawing nights and maybe a third game between multi-state members just to keep more interest.

Gap Strategy - MegaMillions 0916Reply
Bobby, you're right. People always want $100, 200, 300 million jackpots. I'm one of them. Their reasoning, for the most part, is if they wanted a smaller jackpot they'd play their state's individual JP game. The whole idea behind multi-state lotteries is to decrease the chances of the numbers being picked over a large population demographic, thus propelling the JP amount to levels well beyond local lotteries.

Same Mega Ball three drawings in a row...Reply
Each state runs its multi-state games under its rules. That's the reason California has pari-mutual payouts and Ohio has fixed payout for the same game. In Ohio MM winners have only 6 months to claim their prizes while some other MM states will wait a year.

How do you celebrate your Birthday when playing the LotteryReply
I did not doing anything special for my lottery play on my birthday. I just got two tickets with the multipliers on them for my state lottery and the multi-state lottery game.-weshar75

Can Maryland switch to MUSL?Reply
Well, maybe that would be an extra reason for luring Maryland into MUSL. Roogow obviously has experience in running a multi-state game. MUSL has several, including the asformentioned HL.

National lottery, or 3d major game?Reply
Not entirely true. MM and PB are in competion with each other to make their game available in states without either, and, to a lesser extent, replace the other in states where one of them is currently played. Witness the competition between the two when CA decided that a multi-state lottery was legal, and the short amount of time between MM's and PB's last matrix changes. They have their eyes on each other, to be sure.

Probability of a MegaMillions rollover.Reply
One more jackpot winner before 2007, and Mega Millions will tie Powerball's record of fourteen jackpots awarded in one year from either multi-state game. Powerball set that record just last year (2005).

25k rollover in MA Ca$h WinFall?Reply
I think MA Cash Winfall isn't doing to well with jackpot rolls. I think most players in MA are playing the multi-state game.

Tri-State Megabucks (ME-NH-VT)
TSM began in 1985. It was the country's first multi-state game. Since then all three states have joined Powerball. New Hampshire also has Hot Lotto.

FL Lottery at $82,000,000Reply
Gov Jeb Bush kept Florida out of Powerball when he took office in 1999. Due to term limits, the president's brother will be leaving next year. FL needs a governor who will allow a multi-state game.
