Tri-State Lottery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 states also offer Powerball, run by MUSL. Tri-State games are not part of MUSL.
Megabucks became Megabucks Plus, doubling the cost of a ticket (to $2) on July 26, 2009. Megabucks Plus is played in a similar fashion as Powerball.
The North Dakota Lottery has asked the Tri-State Lottery for permission to join the latter's Weekly Grand game. (All of North Dakota's lottery games, by law, are multi-jurisdictional.)
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]
