Ohio Lottery PlayersReply
Patrick,I agree on all counts. There are some state lotteries that are just plain obvious about their desire for larger profits and hurt the lump-sum option. For those who weren't aware of it, the way it's supposed to work is if you choose the lump-sum cash option, you should get the exact same amount of money that the lottery would normally invest in order to pay off the annuity payments. This usually comes to about half of the total annuity payout. But some states will actually give you less t

New MI chief could mean new multi-state game
Todd: I hope you'll be paying attention to this. The outgoing head of the Michigan Lottery will be encouraging his replacement to start a multi-state game with Illinois (which would replace the MI 6/51). If such a game can be pulled off, they should encourage Pennsylvania to go along. **** Also, Georgia is supposed to vote Wednesday on selling the coming Lotto South.

Iowa Lottery CEO Terry Rich answers your questionsReply
For a multi-state game, all of the lotteries in that game make the decision together. If it is an in-state game, that lottery makes the decisions and rules regarding its own particular game.

Mega Millions Game Coming to Florida?
It looks like the Mega Millions multi-state game is coming to Florida. The latest Florida Lottery Flamingo Forum consumer survey highlighted Mega Millions questions including how best to distinguish Mega Millions from Florida's current Mega Money game, probably requiring a name and logo change for Mega Money to reduce confusion in Florida over the two games once Mega Millions goes live...

Do new games cannibalize other games?Reply
Depending on the game, cannibalization can actually be quite severe. Take for example whenever a larger state joins a multi-state game. The in-state game almost always takes a severe decline in sales, in some cases prompting the state to replace it with a niche game.

RJ: Since you live in Ohio, I live in New York, and we're separated by Pennsylvania, those of us who live in one of these states need to push the three state lotteries to allow a multi-state game, and/or improve the marquee jackpot game from each lottery. The NY Legislature prohibits the NY Lotto game from returning more than 40% of sales in prizes, and, the PA Super-6 game does not allow players to select all their numbers (you get three games for a dollar, but, 2/3 of your games must be QUIC

Big Game Picks for 6/29/2001Reply
No, I haven't heard anything new on Ohio joining The Big Game. My guess is that they'll join some sort of multi-state game, but if it's The Big Game, it could take a while longer. That's because The Big Game is set up as a consortium and is run jointly by the seven states. Guessing again, I would say that arrangement is somewhat more complex to modify than the Powerball lottery, which is run by a separate organization.-Todd
