Mega Millions and Powerball Agree to Ticket-Selling Partnership

Monday, October 19th, 2009

They are the two “marquee games” in American lotteries: Mega Millions and Powerball.  Each lottery state currently has one, but not the other. However, the Mega Millions consortium and Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL) have reached an agreement in principle to cross-sell Mega Millions and Powerball in all U.S. lottery jurisdictions.

The agreement means that lotteries from across the United States, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, will be able to choose to offer their lottery players both jackpot games via their respective retailers.  

States that currently sell Powerball and other lottery products will have the opportunity to begin offering Mega Millions tickets to their players via authorized lottery retailers.  As a result of this agreement, Mega Millions states will then be able to offer the Powerball game to complement their existing game mix. No firm date has been set for implementation, although it is hoped that it could be in early 2010. It is also hoped that this could be the beginning of several joint initiatives.

Mega Millions is currently played in 12 states, with a combined population of roughly 160 million.  Powerball is currently available from 33 lotteries (31 states plus the District of Columbia and Virgin Islands) with a combined population of roughly 125 million.

Powerball Jackpot Climbs to $129 Million;

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

The jackpot in America’s favorite lottery game continues to climb higher and higher. Even though the grand prize was not awarded Saturday evening, one lucky ticket in Colorado (1) matched all 5 white numbers with the Power Play and won $1 million cash. This was a result of the new Power Play feature that turns any match 5 white ball win with the Power Play into a 5X multiplier and pushes the prize up to $1 million!! Four other lucky tickets in Delaware (1), Florida (1), Minnesota (1), and Pennsylvania (1) matched all 5 white ball numbers without the multiplier for a sensational $200,000 cash win on each. In addition, 804,371 tickets across the nation won a total of $7,070,927 in prizes.

Because no one correctly matched all six numbers in Saturday’s drawing the jackpot will grow to an estimated $129 million!

The cash option for the Wednesday, September 23rd drawing will be an estimated $66.3 million.

The numbers drawn Saturday night were 5, 24, 25, 30, 49 and the Powerball was 23. The Power Play multiplier was 3.
