Multi-State Game Free Ticket Promotions.
New York is offering a buy $5 worth of Mega Millions tickets, get an additional $1 ticket for free. That increases the chances that the jackpot will be won in New York. I'm guessing the lottery thought so since they did give the green light for the promotion, and if the jackpot win is in New York, they get the state taxes on it. My question is if one state (participating in a multi-state game) offers a promotion on the game in which a free ticket is involved, should all states participating in t
