Do you play in multiple states? When I get a chance to cross state lines. One weekend, I played in Idaho and Colorado in addition to my home state. Didn't win, but it was fun.

$1.25 BILLION: Mega Millions jackpot set to deliver unimaginable wealthReply
We have the Pacific West and the Mountain West. I am going to tilt the Palantir just a little and let it point to the Mountain West. There is a straight line down from Montana to New Mexico. Colorado is a little out of line and kinda pushing Kansas out of the way, so because of such bullyish behavior I will eliminate Colorado. The people in Montana can always cross over to Canada and play lotto 6/49 there . The people in New Mexico can try their luck in Mexico maybe. So that leav

He won a game with a 6/40 matrix that carries 3,838,380 to 1 odds. New York used have a game with the same odds - Sweet Million.

Bill S. of Carbondale Colorado sure loves those odds, doesn't he??? G5

$1.7 billion in combined jackpots, as USA multi-state lottery games peak togetherReply
It seems like when they jump up the jackpot around noonish. They're still not open yet in Headquarters from what I gather. Mr. Obsessive Compulsive (a bit) called the Colorado Lottery because they had the jackpot off about $100 million dollars. They did fix it on their website. Then two days ago the news here had the wrong jackpot. Said $997 million. Facsimile them; this time they didn't correct it next half hour but 6 p.m. news was correct.

$1 million Mega Millions prize won in Iowa will expire in two weeksReply
Eddie Tipton where are you? Reminds me of a high heeled lady playing scratch tickets here, ATM right next to the lottery machine as I patiently waited my turn. Finally she left, scanned her tickets and there was a $200 winner in the trash! There are a few high heeled folks in the Saddlebred Capital of the World where I live. One family owns four well known resorts...hint hint first one in Nashville; now one in DC, Colorado and Florida. About 10 years ago she got tired of foolin

Nevada Legislature hears bill that would create state lotteryReply
Good point and noticed that before. Never knew they were in the airports until we went there. Do feel that maybe the lottery will be a wake-up call for casinos to get behind this? IDK, they appear so greedy to me. So folks in Laughlin, NV will cross the Colorado to play in Bull Head City, AZ (we did--paid an employee well to take us there. Las Vegas to Primm Lotto store and folks in Reno/Tahoe can play in CA. Have zero idea about Wendover, NV where it is, what state it next to so leavin

Alabama Supreme Court finds that casinos are operating illegallyReply
It seems that other enterprises figured out a way to make gambling work in the state, so what is up with the stuffed shirt politicians there? Since they can't figure out how to create their own lottery, they just call it illegal gambling , but one day they will wake up and start a lottery that is legal gambling because THEY are in control of it. GET A CLUE, LEAGLIZE gambling and then tax the H$LL out of it! Look what pot did for Colorado when they legalized and taxed it, they are deeply in
