I'm in a powerball state (Louisiana). But weekend drives to Texas are starting to look very attractive.

That will never happen. The reason why states join multi-state lotteries like PB and MM is to offer huge jackpots to their residents which their own lottery cant produce. Big jackpots result in high sales, which is the reason my states join multi-state in the first place. Florida's lotto can generate the same jackpot levels that Lotto South generates on its own. So, I dont think they would join LS.

Wouldn't it be strange if FL joined lotto south? Just imagine what changes to LS.

That would be nice. But they said they'd only add one more state, and that would be it, no more states. That means Florida will be joining Powerball, starting a new multi-state game, or simply not go multi-state.

Now all they need to do is add Florida. Pudgie agrees

MM, regardless of its odds, is a much better game than NY Lotto.
