State Lotteries can be of two kinds:
some are played only in a certain state and are often called
single state lotteries, while the others can be played in
several states, they are multi-state lotteries shared by a number of
areas.
Generally speaking of the latter it should be mentioned
that multi-state lotteries are played only in the US, no.
Because you can find such lotteries in Australia and Canada, for
example. The point is that in Canadian lotteries,
multi-state lotteries are played in several provinces. There are two
biggest lotteries that are
Canada Super 7 and Lotto 6/49. Speaking to the point you will find
Canada Lotto 6/49 played in Quebec, Atlantic, Ontario, British
Columbia, though the game will be called for instance Ontario 49 and BC
49. By the way a jackpot can vary from one province to another one, so
the jackpot of the latter is twice as big as that of the
former.
As to USA lotteries
you will certainly find a lot of state lotteries to play when in a
certain area. But keep in mind that state lotteries can be played only
be the residents of the state. While multi-state lotteries can
be easily played by anyone who is a citizen of the country, for there
are at least three lotteries that are supported by several states. They
are Powerball of 29 states and Mega Millions of 12
states,
Hot Lotto of 10 states. In the US there are two three-states
lotteries that are Tri state megabucks and wild Card 2. The
highest jackpot of $390 million was granted by Mega Millions, the
second largest amounted to $365 million and was paid by Powerball. The
US multi-state lotteries are run by the the Multi-State
Lottery Association.
Have you ever heard of multi-country lotteries? Euro Millions
Games are played in the United Kingdom and in Ireland with drawings
held on Fridays. An average jackpot of Euro Millions is round
$19 million.
These were multi-state and multi-country lotteries described in a
nutshell. Find your most winning state lotteries!
