It appears Kansas is joining HL March 12, but couldn't find info on either www.kslottery.com or www.musl.com.

If NY Lotto went computerized it wouldn't change how I play it much. I rarely play it anymore.

Psykomo.....will not buy any ticket

Drawn from or selected from a computer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The so called development of these Super RNG computers have been in the

works for a long while now, but can't believe Lottery industry has bought

My vote is for yes because CA has it's California Combo. Powerball states having Hot Lotto should have the Powerball combo. For $10, players can get $5 QPs on Powefrball and $5 on Hot Lotto.

MUSL may have made a terrible choice in drawing equipment, but they are a model for friendly customer service.

Mr. Strutt was kind enough to answer all of my questions quite thoroughly , and he confirmed that not only is Hot Lotto computerized (as of February 1st), but also 2by2 and Wild Card 2 were both switched over to use the same type of computerized drawing machine.

(2by2 was already computerized, but now it uses the same equipment as Hot Lotto.)

This is just terrible news for true... [ More ]

The ball machines they use for Powerball now are truly random (anyone who's tried to predict P-Ball numbers can attest to that). And they're a lot more fun to watch than a barrel of nuclear waste. Don't let C. Montgomery Burns get in the lottery business.

The MUSL did tell me a while back that radioactive decay is truly random (that's what they said they'd use for Powerball if it went computerized).

I love the small multi-state games. I used to drive to KY to play LottoSouth. I would like TN to get into a small multi-state lottery (4-5 states), but I don't think any state should be required to participate. I like odds of 10-20million:1. In my opinion 145million:1 odds are way too long, you have mathematically no chance of winning. 5 People a year will win Powerball, I have a 100 times better chance of being killed at the mall by a terrorist. I still play PB, but not until it reaches 2... [ More ]

It was pretty recently, not too sure when, but my best guess is it was some time this year.

When did HL drop the balls (what do they call the Hot Ball now)? I played $1 Hot Lotto in West Virginia in October during my Oklahoma-California trip.

You know, scrub this message. I've just found out that Hot Lotto is now computerized. They have switched to a computer that gets results from radioactive decay. They call it Quantum Vision, I call it Lottery Chernobyl. Strike that game of my might play list.

I would like another game from MUSL to play here in Oregon if the game is ball drawn. Other wise I will just play Powerball and then go to my local casino.

I was thinking, even if every Powerball state joined Hot Lotto (from Arizona to Maine, from Carolina to Oregon), it would probably only roll an average of $500,000 at a time (judging by current sales). So the question is, should all 30 (soon to be 31) jurisdictions that sell Powerball also have to sell Hot Lotto? Should it be a package deal so to speak
