With Florida joining Powerball in January, the game will be changed so the jackpot will be even HARDER to win. Partly because of this, NC should join the steadily-growing "Hot Lotto" game, which is now played in 12 Powerball states and the District of Columbia. Hot Lotto is a smaller, multi-million-dollar jackpot game; it also has its own multipler, the "Sizzler" tripler.
