Grovel, if Arkansas decides to join POWERBALL, good luck and enjoy the game.

As an Arkansas, I can not wait until we join the lottery. I am hoping for Power Ball, but it does not make that much of a difference I guess.

Happy days will be here when there is a Pick6/22 in every state on all 51 states for 1 dollar or West Virginia Cash25 for 25 cents in every state and a pick2...When there is a lotto stock market, when there is hundreds of scratchoffs that pay 1 million a year for life ONLY for females....When there is a Lotto Stock market only for females, when there all the cars in America have been replaced by electric cars or hydrogen cars, when the U.S gives more than 1% of its GDP to foreign aid, etc, etc,

I think they may run into a brick wall with that one. MUSL is very protective of its states, and will deny Powerball to states that participate in other multi-state games. That's what happened to Georgia.

There have been so many national and international games discussed in various state meetings that I wouldn't put too much creedence into any one discussion or concept. Most of them never come to fruition.

Another aread the state lottery will have to cater to people is the marriage area the divorce because some people can't handle for instance if you win 800 million you can handle your wife getting 400 million and then divorcing you so they will have to work on that area...For example i couldn't not handle the idea of my wife getting half of the 800 million dollars and then divorcing you....Again you will have to work on that area....

What i mean is select a responsible winner even if that means cheating...I don't believe they should select people randomly...Fist of all A lottery which will pay like 60 milion starting jackpot and will climb to 800 million because it is a Pick5/110 + Pick1/60 and tell me something i learn yesterday is that the lottery can be like cigarette it can be bad for you....You just cant give just anyone 800 million dollars...Something i've learn is that with huge amount of money comes responsabilty God...

Have you all ever thought that if there was a national lottery, just 1 that the matrix would not have been 5/56 or 5/59 but instead 5/96 or 5/110 + Pick1/50 for bonus ball or something like that....Just pray that MegaMillions and Powerball dont combine...

what about Alaska....

Anyways, thanks to God we have Bigatoo difference number system because that's the only system that will work against a Pick5/110 + Pick1/50 for bonus ball...

Remember it don't matter if is powerball or megamillio... [ More ]

All of the states now belong to either MM or PB, so there really can't be any more joining of states to either game. A state cannot belong to both games at the same time.

The only new state to join a game will be Arkansas, and my guess is they'll go with Powerball.

Since Florida is joining the POWERBALL family, and while the economy is presently in a downspiral, perhaps the other states will eventually join either MM or PB -- just to generate some revenues.

Now, I think most of the players will be delighted, too. Just a chance, a dream of winning.

Now, my biggest wish is no taxation of MM or PB winnings. Yes, it's a fantasy and I know the government must generate revenue, but can you imagine in your wildest dreams that all MM or PB winnings will not... [ More ]
