4th and 5th prizes ($150) also can be pari-mutuel.

They have a reserve they use if the second and third prize winnings are higher than justified by sales(except in California). But if the winnings are in excess of the reserve, they change the prize structure to pari-mutuel.

I think all states have a pari-mutuel prize structure for the second and third prizes as an out if sales don't cover them.

Okay, I probably should have read the article on lottoreport.com before making my last post. Judging from that article, I highly doubt the gambling opponents would try to force CA to adopt the same fixed prize structure as the other 11 states. That would probably make them even more angry.

Instead of trying to prohibit California from playing, they should force California to bend their stupid pari-mutuel prize law and offer the same prize amounts as the other states. Their pari-mutuel MM payouts are unfair to the other states.

I live in CA and am grateful to have the chance to participate in MM. I am sure those who win future MM jackpots will be glad that Californians are feeding the pot too.

I hope the injuction forces CA to not play Mega Millions

I think that MM sales will be allowed to continue until the case is heard. I also think that the eventual outcome, after all the appeals, will be that CA has a legal right to participate in MM. So the final outcome will be that a bunch of lawyers (from both sides) will take home more money than they would had they won a MM jackpot.
