And typically, hilariously answers. I love their 'Real Letters' section.

Justxploring,

Since you menationed copnspiracy theories in the other thread about Florida and PB, I'll say yhay if the first drawing in Florida produces a jackpot winner from Florida, well, that would be suspicious.

If it's a jackpot winner that purchased a ticket in Miami in a bodega in Little Havan, that would be really suspicious

Florida just announced on its site that due to popular demand they will begin televising live drawings again in some areas. The one in Fort Myers is only on Telemundo

I sent an email to MUSL (Multi State Lottery) and asked them if they were going to continue having live draws as opposed to RNG draws.Here is their response to my email:

At least we have good football!

It's not so bad out here (Oklahoma). And I hate that term heartland. I've traveled a lot and have come to the conclusion that people are much nicer here. It's almost funny how rude some people are on the east coast. If there were anything to see here I would tell you to come visit..... uhhh kidding there is plenty to see...

The word Heartland refers to a central core, not necessarily the vibrant parts. Although many would say that flyover country is actually both.

Powerball is making a smart move. The term Heartland is such a misnomer. The real vibrancy of America has always been in its coastal regions.

After 16 years in the Heartland, Powerball is moving south.

The lottery game is moving its televised drawings from Iowa to Florida.

Executive Director Chuck Strutt says details, including the location of a new studio, are still being worked out, but the first drawing from Florida is set for Jan. 7.
