With North Carolina in Powerball maybe that game will see bigger jackpots more often since it will actually take less than eleven draws to get over $100 million.

NC picked Powerball by default.The MM has placed a moratorium on any new states joining their game for 12 months following the addition of Kali-fornia.The NC lottery chief did the right thing by getting on board with Powerball.There really wasn't any choice.Perhaps JimmySand9 is correct that it doesn't necessarily mean computerized drawing just yet for the other games.We can hope.

I think the whole thing smells like rotten eggs. I wanted MM and it sounds like computerized as well.

By Automated Numbers Game Systems, they are talking about the computers that print out the tickets.

At least it's only the NC lottery that's going computerized and not Powerball
