Tri-State Lottery
Tri-State Lottery refers to games offered by the lotteries of Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. It was the first multi-jurisdictional lottery, with its first drawing on September 14, 1985.[1] Tri-State Lottery offers four shared games.
With Maine (a Multi-State Lottery Association member from 1990-1992) returning to MUSL in 2004, all three lotteries also offer Powerball, run by MUSL. (Tri-State games are not part of MUSL.) The three lotteries also offer Mega Millions, which they each joined in 2010 as part of both major games' cross-sell expansion.
Megabucks became Megabucks Plus, doubling the cost of a ticket (to $2) in July 2009. Megabucks Plus is played in a similar fashion as Mega Millions and Powerball; the three games each draw from two number fields.
All Tri-State games are drawn using numbered balls, except for raffles and the twice-weekly drawing game Weekly Grand, which feature a random number generator (RNG).[1] Weekly Grand will be discontinued in March 2012.
