Talk:Hot Lotto
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New Hampshire participates in Hot Lotto, and Wikiproject New Hampshire has a focus on articles that relate to New Hampshire in any way.
Hot Lotto is an interesting game, in that it has grown by having more lotteries offer it, unlike the tri-state lottery games, which are confined to three states. Maine only joined Powerball in 2004, maybe they'll be the next Hot Lotto state? 216.179.123.201 20:06, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

- In less than two months, the Hot Lotto page has gone from 2,500 bytes to over 6,000! 216.179.123.106 13:40, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
I'd like to see somebody be able to put the Hot Lotto logo on the page. I'm not quite good enough yet to do it myself. 216.179.123.104 00:16, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm guessing that Tennessee will be the next state to announce joining Hot Lotto. TN will soon switch to RNG drawings. 216.179.123.109 00:30, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
There are an awful lot of speculations on this page, which probably need to be removed. JimmySand9 19:38, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
I would suggest e-mailing Charles Strutt (letters@musl.com), which I sometimes do. It is true that Hot Lotto will add Oklahoma and a (lucky) 13th member in January 2008. I also think HL will add a PowerPlay option, which is also coming to Wild Card 2. 216.179.123.105 19:52, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
MO seems to be hinting it will join Hot Lotto on January 27, 2008, despite their in-state game. It will make an announcement the first full week of November. 216.179.123.106 14:47, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
What's with all the recent vandalism? The page needs to be restored. Loveyourcar (talk) 15:17, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
The Sizzler option makes some sense, for those who like Powerball's PowerPlay. However, it meant new betslips for most of the HL members that had joined before 2008. The introduction of the Sizzler (I wonder what will happen with the action taken by the steakhouse chain) should have been combined with a change in the game's double matrix (eg 5/42 + 1/19). For Hot Lotto to succeed well into the next decade, it needs longer jackpot odds, and to add MUSL states that currently have their own "classic"-style annuitized game (eg Connecticut; Missouri; Indiana; Wisconsin). KY also needs to drop out of WFL (which replaced Lotto South) and join Hot Lotto. 216.179.123.111 (talk) 15:29, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
- Assuming Hot Lotto continues to expand, the most likely "candidates" probably include: LA, NC, RI, SC, and the US Virgin Islands. These places, as well as a couple others, lack a "classic-style" annuitized jackpot game (all but one HL member (New Hampshire) have only Powerball in addition to HL as far as terminal-based "traditional" online annuitized jackpot games.) I can't understand why Rhode Island continues to snub HL, since it not only would fit in with its games (with or without Cashola,) but it would also give players in southeast New England a cash option alternative to MA Megabucks, which is STILL annuity-only. RI is the closest to me with Cashola, but I would like to be able to play Cashola and Hot Lotto in the same state, without having to drive to both New Hampshire AND Rhode Island to play both MUSL games (Delaware is the closest to me with both games; however, it is probably a longer drive than to combine NH and RI; also, I would have to pay tolls. After all, I live in the only state whose "classic" jackpot game continues to have a ridiculously low 40% payout. No Annuities (talk) 15:53, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
