Mass. Lottery games to merge, jackpots to increaseReply

Mega Millions goes on sale in South Dakota May 16Reply
YAY for South Dakota! We apparently have no members from South Dakota willing to say YAY for their state so it came to pass that the burden seemed to fall on me. I was going to say: GO FARGO! YAY! Then I looked in the Road Atlas and found out Fargo was in North Dakota. That would have made me look real stupid. So: GO WATERTOWN! YAY! C'mon everybody, let's hear it for South Dakota! YAY!

North Carolina House Speaker Jim Black, D-Mecklenburg, argues that North Carolina's new education lottery will remove the allure of another hotly debated form of gambling -- video poker.

Powerball to increase to three drawings a weekReply
Multi-state jackpots are paid by all the states collectively. A percentage of every ticket sold goes toward the jackpot in each state. When someone wins the jackpot, all the states send their share to the state lottery that sold the ticket, and that state then pays out the winner once it's all collected. (That's why it can take a couple of weeks to get the check.) On the other hand, all non-jackpot prizes are paid 100% by the state that sold the winning ticket. So if someone from South Dakota
