USA Mega adds lottery game start datesReply
This feature is a good example of creating something specifically because someone asked for it.About three or four weeks ago I received an e-mail from someone who had two suggestions, and this was one of them (I also implemented the other one). I thought it was a good idea, not just because the information was not available on USA Mega, but also because it doesn't exist anywhere else on the Internet.I looked at every single state lottery site, as well as the official Powerball and Mega Millio

Jackpot Cash Value history?Reply
