$1.76 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in CaliforniaReply
If you are going to compare California then keep in mind it borders Nevada. They do not have a lotto there and many of the residents and tourist will make a trip to the state line to buy tickets. So basically the count of tickets sold in Ca is actually for two states...not one. This is also the reason the store on the state line sells more scratch offs than anywhere else and frequently win smaller jackpots .

$1.23 BILLION: Powerball jackpot juggernaut keeps rollingReply
Let's not forget California does not have Powerplay option. I'll never know if they took my suggestion to @ least add Double play to their Powerball, but like Todd said it is not in their laws to allow that. Makes about as much sense as Nevada not offering lotteries because it is against their Constitution. Powerful lobbyists I'd venture to say from the one arm bandits no doubt.

Winner of $95 million Lotto Texas lottery jackpot gamed the odds to winReply
lottobrain, IIRC long after this happened Nevada allowed casinos to put in Mega Millions progressive jackpot slot machines. Whenever anyone in the atate played one of these machines the jackpot progressed. Because of the Aussies and what they did withg the VA lottery the casinos in NV did something or tried to do somethiing to stop around the clock team play but the aound the clock team play didn't last anyway once players thought about how many ways they would have to split the jackpot.

justadream; Before Primm opened , many from Nevada went to a small railtoad stop called Nipton, CA to play lotto . current informayion on the town now says the pop. is 15-20, it might have beem a few more than that before Primm opened.

justadream, Thanks for replying. I was wotking in Vegas in casinos when Nipton really hoy going. Many a casino worker had asked thie bosses why Nevada had no lopttery and the boss's standatd reply was The joints (casinos) want it all. They still do. Interesting thing about Primm, prior to Primm opening on the Califotnia side of the CA-NV botder, the CA law to start selling lottery tickets was that a businees had to have already open for five years, in California before it could sell lott

I know you are referring to DEI in the context of winning the lottery. But on DEI as a whole California really rocks it and it's the most diverse state in the USA.
