Apparently as of January 31 2010, several MM states will offer PB and several PB states will offer MM. So far TX, OK, AR, GA, and WI will sell both as of this date.

I for one am looking forward to playing PB in TX.

Vist the TLC website to read the news release.

I believe TX might be the first MegaMillion state to offer both games.
