Ky. Getting Mega-Millions
KENTUCKY....
Mega-Millions is coming to Kentucky. The Kentucky Lottery Corp. has given approval to sell Mega Millions tickets - with the game's launch in Kentucky tentatively set for the end of January. Mega Millions is offered in 12 states, and, while Kentucky will continue to be among 31 states where Powerball tickets are sold, officials are predicting a net sales gain of about $32 million annually by adding the Mega Millions game with drawings on Tuesday and Friday nights. The lottery says overall sales from July through October totaled $261.6 million, down about $255,000 from the same period last year and about $3.2 million less than budgeted.
