I don't where you got that info from, but last I heard was 25% of sales were online for that winning drawing. I still buy my tickets at the local stores and the lottery machines seem to be alive well. In fact walmart just installed a lottery kiosk about a year ago.

Maryland Lottery launches Cash Pop gameReply
From what I can tell it is each state running their own version - different drawing schedules for example. However the rules and game are similar, but I think some odds or payouts might be different - I haven't looked at the details for each state. I think each state lottery just licenses the game from IGT.

$1.23 BILLION: Powerball jackpot juggernaut keeps rollingReply
I didn't match anything on MegaMillions last night, but I did buy a ticket for Tuesday's drawing today. I'm trying another method to pick my numbers and hope it might make a difference. I'm combining selecting my own numbers with randomness and hope that gets me some better results.

$1.23 BILLION: Powerball jackpot juggernaut keeps rollingReply
It's very common, and in fact rarely is the cash and annuity adjusted proportionally. Many times the cash value changes but the annuity is not adjusted. Keep in mind they are both estimates, and we are strictly speaking here about numbers being adjusted prior to the drawing.
