It's about time Florida Lottery listen to the players. I drove to Georgia last March for the record $656 Mega Millions draw.

WE here in Florida were beggin for this to come and we can't wait. Since the ticket prices for powerball went up we stopped playing. We love the Mega Millions thank God its coming we have to wait until May though.

Curious to see if it grows or the jackpots become smaller with more players.

I'm happy for those people who want the multi-state games, since we're all adults and should have choices, but I need to stick to my budget. So I'll continue to buy my FL Fantasy-5 and Lotto tickets. Good luck everyone.

Good luck to Florida joining Mega Millions. Just to let everyone know that California is joining Powerball for their first draw on Wednesday April 10, 2013.

4.5 billion in sales, huh? A good chunk of that came from me, lol!!

I knew they couldn't hold out forever. It was just a matter of time. Now I don't have to send away for tickets from my friends in TX and GA.

Have they said anything about the Megaplier, or is that standard now

You're not trying to say Senator Harry Reid(D) of Nevada is a crook, are you?

Just because he became a multi-millionaire after taking office doesn't necessarily mean he's a crook, ya know.

Maybe he won it all in a casino in Vegas.

Yeah, that's the ticket, he won it all in Vegas.

Florida to join multi-state Mega Millions lottery

Florida will start selling tickets to the popular Mega Millions game later this year.

Florida Lottery officials told The Associated Press on Thursday that the state will join 42 other states in selling tickets. Tickets will go on sale on May 15.

The first Mega Millions drawing that Florida tickets will participate in is on Friday, May 17.

The state already sells tickets to Powerball, another multi-state game. It also has its own game called Florida Lotto.
