I don't know why Florida insisted on holding the drawings in Florida before joining the Multi State Lottery,but I can live with it.I don't like the fact that they are changing the matrix and making it harder to win,but since the jackpots are predicted to be bigger,I can live with that,too.What I don't know is if they will continue to have live ball drawings or change over to RNG computer drawings.If they switch to RNG,I can't live with that.I'll quit playing Powerball and invest my money in the...

Just my $.02 but for a state lottery Florida gets some decent jackpots (granted, population comes in to play here).

The state lottery is a pick 6 and Powerball is a 5 + 1.

When Califronia was about to join Mega Millions the news hyped it up with potential $500,000,000 jackpots, that hasn't even been close to being approached yet.

Once Powerball is available in Florida the state lottery play wil fall off somewhat and the jackpots on the Florida lottery will fall off a lot more.

Well, I tell ya, edlotto...

Not too exicted about it, because the matrix is also changing and the odds are going up for a jackpot win.

But, for Floridians, it will be very exciting and new.

I didn't know the drawings were being moved there as well.

I guess, I'm a little down about the new matrix, but I'm glad for Florida

I just heard the exciting news! Florida is finally joining Powerball, I have waited 10 years for this moment to come and it's going to come on January 4th 2009.

It is going to do alot of good for the state of Florida, I guarantee it. And if that just wasn't exciting enough for you Floridians like myself, the Powerball drawi... [ More ]
