...Now if only Florida WOULD join the MegaMillions first, then the MUSL can create any national lottery they want. Honestly, do they believe people wouldn't play our state lottery? I'm sure the result would just be like California, where people still actually play the state lottery too.  In all seriousness though, this sounds really interesting! An actual national lottery could be something huge! Not sure if I'd want a national scratcher though. Not enough options and despite the better odds, you pretty much have to be at the right store at the right time. No trying to predict your own fateand all. But it would be cool if maybe they implemented a jackpot drawing game, like MM or PB, that had a dollar tier structure like a scratcher and combine the two types with different starting jackpots for each pay amount. So, not including 1 and 2 dollar tickets (or maybe give the option, I don't know) because of MM and PB, but like this kind of price-starting jackpot relationship: 3$ = 70MM 5$= 100MM 10$= 200 MM 20$= 400 MM And so on and so forth. Obviously, the odds would be terrible, but this kind of game would at least give a variety of options for the player and let them assess their own risk but still provide something new and fresh to the table. That and it doesn't have to be just those prices, could have an 8 or 12$ ticket with different starting jackpots. I think if they did this, they could also maybe make .25$ and .50$ starting jackpots, maybe at 3MM and 6MM starting jackpots, respectively. And for those interested in maybe those other prizes, like getting free gas for a year or 200,000 for life, there could also be adjusted ticket prices for those as well, but they probably wouldn't be instant win, like in some states that have the Win for Life drawing. What I'm saying is, I think the MUSL should make their idea of a national lottery to be both not only extraordinary in the increasing jackpot sizes, but also providing ample variety for all the different kinds of people who play the lottery. That way, there is literally something for everyone and greater appeal means more profit for them and bigger dreams, while foolhardy for us, yes, but also gives us these bigger jackpots.  | | |

scrap both MM and PB. I dont like the new $2 PB at all.
Create a single national big jackpot lottery, daily, $2, 1:150m, starting $10m. There will be more winners, but lower jackpots. Say $100m/10 winners, $10m is pretty good. No one needs $100m anyway. 2nd place is $1m, thus scrap NY Sweet Million and Pick10; two useless games as it is. | | |

Powerball and Mega millions are making big money just like the old Las vegas don't think the vegas mob in vegas went away well they didn't they just have smart iphones now and busy watching porn on them. lol | | |

It's a free country. Neither you nor the Govt get to set limits on personal wealth or assets. NO LIMITS ON JACKPOTS PLEASE! Although I'd be happy with $10m, $100m would not make me any less happy, nor will it make me feel guilty for having it. Clear eyes, full hearts, Texas forever!

I would be happy if they let the status quo continue and then to top that they would introduce a national raffle that would be drawn on the 1st of every month that guarantees a prize of $1M to 50 winners. Cash and not an annuity! Now that would be a real block buster. The tickets on that raffle should cost no more than $10. They would break-even by selling the first 5M tickets. | | |

If that was a tax free million (after all, I've already paid the stupid tax, not fair to tax me again when I win) I'd buy a ticket for every drawing. If it was taxed, I'd need it to be a couple mil before I'd play on a regular basis. | | |

Just cuz I don't need it don't mean I don't want it. And just cuz I don't need it don't mean I shouldn't have it. Or should lottery prizes be determined by "what you need" after you win? | | |

Here comes Karl "POMAH" Marx to save the day.
"From each according to his abilities to each according to his needs...and I, POMAH, tell you what you need!"
Seriously, POMAH, you have no imagination and you sound selfish when you say things like that.
Clearly you are only considering your own situation and don't believe anyone else knows what to do with lots of money.
From this one post it looks like you assume that just because you cant figure out how to use the money nobody else can either and thus that makes you appear arrogant. | | |

I'd like to see another JP game played on Mondays and Thursdays. I wouldn't participate in a national scratcher game, I just don't like scratchers that much. That would be cool: Monday - National Lotto Tuesday - MegaMillions Wednesay- Powerball Thursday - National Lotto Friday - MegaMillions Saturday - Powerball 6 days a week, 6 chances a week to hit a jackpot!! | | |

Speak for yourself!I agree with you about the $2 Powerball but thats about all I agree with you about. I need $100 million (or more) to buy all the toys that I've ever wanted and still have some left to leave to my daughter and grandson so they can buy all the toys that they always wanted.He who dies with the most toys wins!
