Multi-state lottery to include Kansas, begin in February
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Five states, including Kansas, and the District of Columbia will sign an agreement today to band together and operate the nation's largest multi-state lottery.
Peter J. O'Connell, chairman of the Multi-Site Lottery Association, said yesterday that Rhode Island, West Virginia, Iowa, Kansas, Oregon and the District of Columbia have agreed to participate initially. Missouri may join shortly, but is awaiting approval of a special state legislative committee.
"We hope to start selling tickets around Feb. 1." said O'Connell.
Representatives of the states and the District of Columbia met yesterday for a final session to review the legislation before the formal signing ceremony.
"Everything is all set to go," said Larry Montgomery, executive director.
Officials in the multi-state organization hope that the lottery will offer average jackpots of $3 million to $5 million, with the possibility of higher prizes.
The exact design of the game, known as lotto, will not be finished until later. However, officials envision a game in which players try to choose the winning combination of several numbers. If a prize isn't won one week, it would be carried over to provide an ever-growing jackpot.
Participants have agreed that tickets will cost $15 and percent of the price will be paid to the prize.
first game. Each state retains the profit for ticket sales in their jurisdiction.
Montgomery estimated that Kansas could receive $30 million in revenue from the multi-state lottery during its first year of operation.
He said smaller states, in particular, are attracted to the multi-state game because it allows them to offer much larger jackpots than they could generate on their own. That feature should mean increased ticket sales and more revenue for the participating states.
O'Connell, who has directed the Rhode Island lottery since 1974, said New York and Illinois had expressed interest in joining the multi-state lottery. However, the New York Legislature failed to approve legislation authorizing the state to participate. The lawmakers are expected to consider the issue again when they reconvene in January. Without New York's participation, Illinois has decided not to join.
The multi-state association has given permission for both states as well as Missouri to join at any time. A special legislative committee in Missouri will consider the multi-state agreement between Missouri lottery officials have said they wanted the committee's approval before they would proceed.
The multi-state lotto will be the second such lottery in the United States. New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine have operated a joint game for two years.
