Maine woman seeking second lottery jackpotReply
It was here in MI, and it was 4 out of the 5 people in the drawing for $2 million at the International Freedom Festival. The last drawing they had for it was during Arts, Beats Eats in September, and all 5 people split it. Good odds if you ask me... 1 in 1 for $400,000 vs. 1 in 5 for $2M. But you get a $5,000 appearance fee if you lose, so the people who don't win actually make out better than the person who does win if the pot is split 5 ways.

Powerball may draw new kind of Tennessee lottery playerReply
I do agree that Florida should go multi-state,but a lottery should never rely on multi-state games to boost its profits. CA joined the MUSL in hopes of an international lottery game, and that collapsed, and look at CA now.
