  (PLEASE...no taxies in TEXAS ON THIS WON$$$$$)

write the govonor in UR state and ASK why we CANNOT have a REAL "LOTTERY" in UR>>>>>>>>STATE!!!!!

This is how the good folks in Georgia felt about my suggestion.

Thank you for contacting the Georgia Lottery Corporation (GLC) and sharing your suggestion with us. We apologize for the delay in responding to you.

We appreciate your feedback, and we will keep your inquiry in mind.

We appreciate your interest in the GLC and our games

This is the reply from Kentucky. Please email your lottery and as for a fat one!

Thanks for taking the time to write with your suggestion. i had a chance this afternoon to talk it over with our president and CEO Arch Gleason. Arch was a two-term president of the World Lottery Association, so I knew he'd be familiar with the game (and I'd heard about it in passing as well).

He agreed with your assessment that El Gordo is a fantastic game. In fact, a group that's been working for a year or two on a national game initially used El Gordo as a starting point to develop a game that would work well in all jurisdictions (although I think they've now moved away from that model).

As for a Kentucky implementation, Arch's belief was that we didn't have enough players to support a game structured in the same manner. Spain has about 60 million people that could buy tickets for El Gordo, and our player base isn't nearly that wide. However the overall concept and idea of the game is good, and one we'll definitely take a look at.

Thanks again for getting in contact, and best of luck to you!

Kentucky Lottery proceeds fund college grant, scholarship and literacy programs. The Kentucky Lottery has contributed more than $1,500,000,000 for need-based grant and merit-based scholarship programs since 1998. Since its inception in 1989, the Kentucky Lottery has sent more than $3.2 billion to the Commonwealth.

This is the reply I got from Montana.

I agree with you, I’ve always liked El Gordo and think it would be a great idea for the U.S. lotteries.

The U.S. lotteries are currently working on a National game. Once we have a National game I believe El Gordo would be a great idea to introduce at Christmas. To do this it would take the approval of all lotteries. I know it has been mentioned and I will forward your idea to our Lottery Director.

Thank you for writing us. We appreciate hearing from players.

the State of Montana.
