This lottery in Maine is so rigged..When you can,t get people to hit a pick three its bad..The only games I play is anything that New Hampshire does not draw like Powerball..Hot Lotto..I have friends who play the pick three and never win...Why?..They are gonna pay big bucks..I believe they know exactly what numbers are being played and what their gonna pay out...They avoid these numbers..When I see four sets of numbers that never come out ..but yet they come out in other states..that is telling

I wonder what the wishes of his constituents might be. Otherwise, people are probably driving to other states to play Mega Millions.

Vacationland? Who goes to Maine to vacation? All that's up there is ticks and lobsters.

And both of 'em will bite the living hell out of you if they get the chance, too.

If he's against it and doesn't like the lottery it sounds like he might be a religious person so that could be the reason a lot of religious folks dislike gambling of any kind especially lottery.

What do you mean THEY ?

The legislature is for it and the Vets group is for it. Undoubtedly most of the people would be for it. It's just your idiot governor imposing his will on everybody else.

Ain't you the state with that cool tag: Live Free Or Die ?

Tell your governor to pound lobsters where the sun don't shine

I really agree with the gov,the lottery in this state has enough games going and very few winners.The only games I play are powerball and hot lotto.I know that its not drawn by this lottery.I would like to see Mega millions come in.What is really sad to say is I won more money in the powerball in the past three months,then the pick three in Maine in the past ten years.

Members of the legislature's Legal and Veteran Affairs Committee say Maine could reap $1.5 million annually by joining more than 30 other states in Mega Millions. They said Thursday that keno an electronic hybrid of the lottery and bingo could generate $2.3 million for the... [ More ]
