Maryland Lottery launches Cash Pop gameReply
From what I can tell it is each state running their own version - different drawing schedules for example. However the rules and game are similar, but I think some odds or payouts might be different - I haven't looked at the details for each state.

You'd have to be nuts to stay with a guy who is constantly battling with the mother of his child when you have $250 million to do literally
