"We chose Mega Millions, [over Powerball, another, large multi-state lottery] because it fits Texas best," Greer said.

"It has the other big premier states, like New York, that also have big populations and similar concerns," said Greer.

In addition, Texas' neighboring states don't have Mega Millions, so Greer hopes those states' residents will cross the Texas border to play.
