I wiahed that the jackpot of Mega Millios gets big and then sales suddenly stop in CA from an injunction from this moron. Bet he would be real popular with his constituents then. Not to mention that without CA the game could get really huge.

I'm betting those other 11 would fall like ripe apples into the PB apron.Jack

The Legislature's attorneys disagreed, and a key lawmaker said he would introduce legislation that would allow California to participate in Mega Millions but require the other 11 states to pay the bulk of administrative costs.Won't happen. What is the color of the sky in that guy's world
