A National Indian Lottery in the Works; Jackpots Projected to Start at $50 Million
This sounds pretty cool.
Even as Powerball and the Mega Millions states scramble to work together (is a national lottery far behind…I think now)…the Indian nations are already there.
A small northern Idaho Indian tribe has announced what might be the most audacious venture yet in the rapidly expanding world of Indian gaming: a weekly lottery that will be available in 36 states and the District of Columbia in which players can phone in their numbers and pay by credit card.
Officials of the Coeur d’Alene tribe, promising an aggressive marketing campaign for what they are calling the National Indian Lottery, predicted the game would draw in hundreds of millions of dollars in revenues annually and would feature an initial weekly jackpot of $50 million
GAMES WE PLAY:
The Nov. 11 Powerball jackpot is $96 million. Good luck, players around the world.
Now THIS is great gaming news! What do I do now?
