Loser Lottery Rakes It in for Governments
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Players of the seven-state Daily Millions lottery have a five-month losing streak, leaving local governments the winners. Nearly 34 million $1 tickets have been sold, but no one has matched the six numbers needed to win a $1 million prize, the Iowa-based lottery said. The top prize for Daily Millions stays at $1 million and does not grow if there is no winner. About half the proceeds from ticket sales goes to local governments.
