300 in sales - where is that number from - we mean dollars not pesos.
http://www.lottoreport.com/mm03sales.htm check out that before making numbers up. it looks like they have had 26-27 million in sales. less than new york.
its too bad people like you are content with such a crappy game. if i want a lottery thats this big i expect the jackpot to be big. yes prizes have fallen sharply even for powerball but powerball broke 200 million twice last year. something that mega will never do in the current game format.
i do think one thing might happen - powerball may change its game and start actively recruiting mega states with success. thank goodness for competition.
I'm not making numbers up, I said the news reported it. I didn't say it was a written in stone fact. The news tends to exagerate anyway, so chill out. I added up the data from the link you provided & got the sum: $23,910,107. & before someone else gets all rude with me, NO, I didn't add in January #s. I only added Decembers. & yes, that's dollars, not pesos.
