There should be a mix of in-state and multi-state games for MUSL members.

ok. the main point of the original post was that states need more alternatives to multi-state games.

NH and VT each had an in-state cash lotto game.

I don't care if my state has a winner I only care if I win or not. If I loose I really don't care where the winner is from. If anything it would be more interesting if someone here won.

they partnered up, and offer several tri-state games, and those games are exclusive to those states.

as far as i know, north dakota is the only one that relies completely on multi-state games. every other state has another option.

that's fine. the main thing i'm focusing on are states that only have one or two in-state games, yet have 2 or 3 multi-state games.

My state, Iowa, does not have its own rolling jackpot game simply because it doesn't have a large enough population to support it. Many states do not, and that is why they join up with Powerball or Mega Millions (although many Mega Millions states are large enough to have their own rolling jackpot games -- for instance, Illinois has two: Lotto and Little Lotto).

Yes, and that is not a good thing. Lotteries cannot be too dependent on multi-state games.

North Dakota still is prohibited from selling an in-state game.

Ohio has had PowerBall jackpot winners and the game isn't played in the state. It also has its share of MegaMillions jackpot winners and that game is played in the state. Ohio added the MegaMillions game to stop the constant money-drain to states that had PowerBall and the BigGame. That still happens occasionally when ever the PB jackpots gets close to $200M as it is this week. I think if a large group of people from any area play any game, they are going to have winners among them no matter... [ More ]

Ok. Before I say anything, I know there are probably quite a few people here who will disagree, and about one or two who will agree with me on this. Anyway, here goes.I've noticed in the past few years that there are states that will only carry one or two online games, and some of those states' in-state games are pick 3, or another game that does not offer a rolling jackpot. Now with North Dakota starting a lottery that ONLY offers MUSL games, states are really missing out on the point of starti... [ More ]
