Powerball multi-state lottery game to change rulesNews Story
Changes to coincide with addition of Florida in January; Jackpots to start at $20 million Powerball, arguably the world's best known jackpot lottery game, will be making changes to the game with the addition of Florida in January. The multi-state game will add some white ball numbers and will remove some red ball numbers, to accomodate the increase in number of players once Florida joins the game. If the number matrix is not changed, the jackpot would be hit too often, and it would not re

Coronavirus begins to impact lottery industryNews Story
But state lotteries are not doing enough to communicate with players By Todd Northrop Every aspect of life in America has been impacted by the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19), including the lottery. Although most lotteries continue to operate their drawings normally, some aspects of the games that require people to gather in one place have been shut down. Claim centers are one such area.

Contested lottery winnerReply
How was that situation any different than in any other store? It happened in 1991 when a player asked for five $1 tickets and a clerk printed a $5 Lotto America ticket.

Christmas Drawings
Christmas is now the only holiday significant enough to cancel drawings in the United States (with the exception of Louisiana, the only state to conduct regular Sunday drawings and not draw on Easter, and Puerto Rico, which does not draw on some other days of the year). This is the list of who did, and did not, conduct drawings on Christmas this year. Let me know if there are any changes. Mega Millions will be conducting drawings on Christmas - they always have been. Drew on Christmas la

One ticket wins massive $232M Powerball lottery jackpotReply

HOWEVER, I do think that the people at the Florida Lottery need a crash course in how to write a press release since that are now hosting the PB drawing from their state.....
