Finally a game Michigan has done better than Florida. When we get these here the prizes are 26k, 52k, 130k and 260k I gotta check out the odds/prizes on Floridas tickets but the $5 one at 150k looks interesting.

IGT prevails in DOJ lawsuit; Wire Act only applies to sports bettingNews Story
Lotteries and poker are not controlled by Wire Act A fight spanning more than a decade over varying interpretations of the Interstate Wire Act of 1961 may finally be reaching its end after a Rhode Island District Court judge ruled that the US Department of Justice must formally state that the law only applies to sports betting. The ruling, a significant victory for online poker in the US, was made in a November 2021 lawsuit filed by International Game Technology (IGT) against the DOJ in

Michigan man thought $1 million lottery prize was $1,000Reply
How could he be confused? The ticket clearly states 1MIL If it was $1,000 wouldn't it say 1THO ? Doesn't Michigan have self-service scanners?

Michigan Lottery celebrates 50th Anniversary with release of $50 scratch-off ticketReply
I certainly would not second your good job Michigan . It's just disgusting how greedy these lotteries have gotten. The Texas $100 game seems to be quite popular as people fall in love with a $25 mlion dollar prize they won't win. While people are saying it, it is a horrible game. Payback minus top tier prizes at about 60% means you lose, on average $40 a ticket. Ouch. This game makes the state of Texas a profit of over $208 million dollars. Absolutely disgusting

One ticket sold in California wins $1.08 billion Powerball jackpotReply
Oh for crap sake! A billion dollar jackpot and nobody in my state won second prize! Wake me up in October after another 30 something rolls. Michigan should change their slogan to Nobody is going to win so why play? I honestly don't know if I'll ever play again. I didn't win anything on this entire run so I guess I set my buy in point at $560 Million Cash if I ever play this version of PB again. Congrats to the winner(s)

Despite sales influx from $2B Powerball, Massachusetts Lottery ticket sales falterReply
I take back my suggestion and replace it with a new one. Massachusetts should take that $10,000,000 and lobby for ticket sales across state lines. The Mass Scratchers are better than the vast majority of scratchers form other states (with a rare exception here and there). If I could I certainly would mail order the $20 and $30 tix from Mass. Heck, even their $10 tix are better than most of the Michigan scratchers. If you want to increase sales then lobby to sell your tickets acro
