Hello everyone,

I'm not sure if you are aware that Powerball & Megamillion will start selling in just about every state on January 31st. Now, this is a good thing for those that can drive across the boarder to play each game.

Unfortunately, it looks like the jackpots will not reach the 300 million dollar mark, because you will have more people playing each lottery. We will most likely see more jackpots in the 100 million to 150 million dollar range. I'm not complaining about this.

I've also found that starting in December or early 2011, we will have a national lottery. This lottery could reach to upwards of 500 million dollars.

I just wanted to know how you all feel about this?

Thank you in advance.

Dee

My awareness of the lottery is about equal to my awareness of commercial radio = zero!

I don't play either one. And while commercial radio can be annoying, the lottery is a lousy way to raise to money, and a sure way to ruin your life if you win!

If I want to gamble, I invest in the stock market.
