I hope the Blue Game is only $1 per draw. If they choose Power play, they will spend $2 a draw to multiply their winnings. I hope that CT keeps Powerball. If the matrix and odds of winning the jackpot is more than 200 million to 1, I hope CA lottery commission drops MM and joins the Blue Game down the road.

Yes it is. When you win you are just told that your millions have gone to help the poor and lower the federal deficit, but you can feel better about yourself.

I want to be able to play the Blue Game in Connecticut, but we're still waiting to find out of CT will still be selling Powerball.

I haven't heard anything lately. MUSL obviously is waiting until after Powerball changes.

Very good point about the cash option being cheated at only 50% of the annuity.I'm still hung up on the $2 price myself. IMHO, If I want to spend $2, I'd rather buy two tickets.

I wouldn't mind paying $2 per ticket (which I already do in MA Ca$h WinFall) since there would be a 2+0 prize, and the jackpot potential would be huge. The one thing I'm wondering about is the $1 million annuitized second prize-would it be a flat 500k (cash option winners would be cheated ) or fluctuate according to interest rates
