  Please take this poll.  If you feel like it, post your reasoning for your vote.  I really don't care if you post a reply. If it gets enough votes, then I may e-mail a link to the poll to the state lotteries to try to convince them to look into offering Hot Lotto.  i can't guarentee that we will be able to sway the states, but it's worth a try.

  ID probably won't join because it once offered a pick-5 called "Hot Lotto".                                                Yet DC has Hot Lotto AND a "Hot Five".

  Could you do me a favor and explain what "Hot Lotto" is and what's the difference between our regular state lottery and the mega millions games.

  Jani:

  The closest to you is West Virginia.

  Hot Lotto is a mini-Powerball game.

  Jani,

  Here's the official web site for Hot Lotto - http://www.powerball.com/hotlotto/hl_main.asp.  It's run by the same people who do Powerball.  The setup is the same, 5 white balls, 1 orange ball, but there are fewer balls involved. 

  The difference between your regular state lottery and the mega millions games is mainly that Mega Millions is a multi-state game, meaning there's a common drawing and Jackpot that people in several states are buying tickets for.  So the jackpot is for all the states and can be won by anyone in one of those states, whereas with a state lottery, the jackpot is for that state and people who buy tickets in that state.
