Iowa Lottery CEO Terry Rich answers your questionsReply
For a multi-state game, all of the lotteries in that game make the decision together. If it is an in-state game, that lottery makes the decisions and rules regarding its own particular game.

New England's Lucky For Life.Reply
Actually I should qualify the above statement a bit. Prior to March 2012 L4L was only played in Connecticut. When I said there was a JP winner in the first drawing of this game I should have said that there was a first drawing JP winner when the game went multi-state (Including all of New England). Back then the game was referred to as New England's Game until the recent expansion to include other states from all over the US.

Mega Millions Game Coming to Florida?
It looks like the Mega Millions multi-state game is coming to Florida. The latest Florida Lottery Flamingo Forum consumer survey highlighted Mega Millions questions including how best to distinguish Mega Millions from Florida's current Mega Money game, probably requiring a name and logo change for Mega Money to reduce confusion in Florida over the two games once Mega Millions goes live...

Do new games cannibalize other games?Reply
Depending on the game, cannibalization can actually be quite severe. Take for example whenever a larger state joins a multi-state game. The in-state game almost always takes a severe decline in sales, in some cases prompting the state to replace it with a niche game.

Powerball Jackpot Jumps to $20 MillionReply
powerball has the trademark of america's game . they also have the patent on the multi-state game, so i'm guessing mega millions is paying the MUSL quite a bit of money. the MUSL should have patented the game style as well. that way, mega millions wouldn't be able to use the same game style.

Large lottery jackpots mean more big bucks for OhioNews Story
Ohio lottery officials hit the jackpot yesterday, as Mega Millions fever brought in about $148,000 an hour for the state.The multi-state game was already outperforming fiscal year 2003 levels, according to Ohio Lottery Commission officials, and the recent surge of sales due to Friday's $222 million jackpot has helped the state's bottom line even more. Everything seems to be falling in place for us, said Mardele Cohen, spokeswoman for the Ohio Lottery Commission. We needed a big winner in Ohio,

Ohio Lottery PlayersReply
RJ: Since you live in Ohio, I live in New York, and we're separated by Pennsylvania, those of us who live in one of these states need to push the three state lotteries to allow a multi-state game, and/or improve the marquee jackpot game from each lottery. The NY Legislature prohibits the NY Lotto game from returning more than 40% of sales in prizes, and, the PA Super-6 game does not allow players to select all their numbers (you get three games for a dollar, but, 2/3 of your games must be QUIC

Big Game Picks for 6/29/2001Reply
No, I haven't heard anything new on Ohio joining The Big Game. My guess is that they'll join some sort of multi-state game, but if it's The Big Game, it could take a while longer. That's because The Big Game is set up as a consortium and is run jointly by the seven states. Guessing again, I would say that arrangement is somewhat more complex to modify than the Powerball lottery, which is run by a separate organization.-Todd

Bad Lottery Games in the past? :/Reply
I'd have to give the award of the worst game to the failed Monopoly Millionaires Club, a huge multi-state game played by 22 states, which only lasted two months before they pulled the plug: https://www.lotterypost.com/news/283882 It was a massive investment by the states, when they attempted to create a game to satisfy all the people who always complain that they don't want just one winner of a big multi-state jackpot. People say they want a multi-state game that creates many winners but now
