  1 rollover for each person playing, it would seem (unfortunately). Could be a cool game, but it needs some PR I think.

  The fact that this game is played in 6 states (7 soon if you count DC?) and it only rolls over $100,000 per drawing should tell MUSL something. It was cute to "celebrate" the 10th Anniversary of Powerball but they really need to do something with this game. If you look at the statistics, only 1 or 2 people are even getting 5 out of the 6 numbers.

  I have NEVER played it, and I don't expect to unless Connecticut (won't), Pennsylvania (Super-6 almost certainly replaced with a PA-only game), or Rhode Island (it would fit in but unlikely there) pick it up. When DC joins it WILL give "Hot Lotto" a major boost because it does not have an equivalent game, and the DC Lottery is heavily played. MUSL seems to give its games 12-18 months before deciding to pull the plug. People who play the Mass. 6/42 and 6/49 (both are ANNUITY-ONLY) and Tri-State Megabucks (neither Maine nor Vermont sell Powerball/Mega Millions) may decide the fate of "Hot Lotto".

  SMD: I think you mean the first five when you mention "5 of 6" ($10,000). Frequently 5-8 match four numbers PLUS the Hot Ball ($500).
