Kimberly m,

Your avatar scares the livin' daylights out of me. It reminds me of so many ex-wives and mothers-in-law that I just want to ball up in the fetal position and go to my happy place. For the love of God, please change your avatar!

On the other issue, never trust somebody who says just give me money and I'll let you know if you won. Always get a copy of the numbers. You probably got ripped.

Cordially,

Ridgerunner

If I was in a pool I would insist that everyone in it got a copy of all the numbers played, all the lines of numbers played, that is.

Anyone running a pool not willng to that is suspect.

Ya folks tink the first N. Dakota winner will be from Fargo, yah?

(Remember the movie Fargo

Any word on whether MM is coming to FLA? We probably would've heard something by now. I knew it was a long shot.

Interesting questions Todd, you'd think MM would be a little more forward thinking and responsive to the players, especially with their entry into new markets and competition with PB. I'd have to think the suits are working on it if they've got a lick of sense between them.

But some states are saying it will be available. Are they doing this independently

I agree about the Megaplier -- something I have been advocating for years now. It's so strange that lots of states have been talking about having the Megaplier, and I have not seen one news release about how it's going to be accomplished.

Right now the Megaplier is a seperate number generated in Texas. Are these states just going to use the Texas number? Will they run their own in-state Megaplier? Will the Megaplier duties be shifted to Georgia?

It would be nice to receive some real info... [ More ]

I think this is a good idea for all the states as long as they don't start messing with the matrices. Also, it should be standardized where all states have the Megaplier option.

I believe after a while when things settle down and shake out that we'll eventually see a merging of the two (PB and MM) into one national game. Hopefully, it would still have 4 draws a week and a matrix with no more astronomical odds than the games have now.
