MM is not organized , like MUSL. Example: NY players of MM must choose cash or annuity when they PLAY, whereas AFAIK the nine other states allow the choice to be made after winning.

It is settled...there is no negotiation...there will be a MM multiplier. However, it won't look anything like PowerPlay, according to informed sources. Instead it will involve a separate, yet to be determined, prize payout table for those who purchase the multiplier .Also, there is the distinct possibility, rumors say, that not all states will offer the multiplier at the roll out. I can't see how that would be able to happen and keep game integrity, but only time will tell for sure.
