Arkansas Lottery to Sell Mega Millions Tickets

The commission unanimously voted Tuesday to begin selling tickets for the multistate games by Jan. 31. Arkansas' new lottery already sells tickets for the multistate Powerball game.
Lottery director Ernie Passailaigue said he didn't know how much additional money would come into the state by adding the Mega Millions game. Arkansas has sold $71.3 million in Powerball and scratch-off tickets since the lottery launched Sept. 28.
The organizations behind the games have agreed in principle to cross-sell tickets for both games beginning next year, but have left it up to individual states to decide whether they'll participate.

The lotto moneys needs to be used for other things besides college funds. How about we donate some of it to say some of our fire departments so they can upgarde equipmnet and and make everyones insurance cheeper. Wouldn't this say a lot of people a lot of money and improve public safety. I am not saying all the money, just some of the money. There are millions to be had.
