Powerball and Mega Millions have had the majority of the largest lottery
jackpot winners in the United States. Powerball has an average grand prize
of $51.8 million and Mega Million $40.5 million in their respective
twice-weekly drawings.
There is no fee to join either group, but Texas would have to pay about $21,000 in shared operation costs to Mega Millions. Currently, Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots start at $10 million. Players have a 1-in-120-million chance at winning the Powerball jackpot, while Mega Millions players have odds of 1 in 135 million. Lottery officials are seeking public comment on the issue of multistate gaming. Commission Executive Director Reagan Greer said more than 2,200 e-mails had been received at the Texas Lottery Commission Web site, www.txlottery.org. Texas, which can legally be involved in more than one multistate lottery organization, would be the first state to offer both games if commissioners vote to do so. C. Tom Clowe, chairman of the commission, said he hopes both associations agree to operate games in the same state. |
