Best run US state lottery?

I'd have to say Massachusetts. I wrote a piece about how the state is the lottery capital of the U.S. People there spend over a thousand dollars a year on tickets! That's wild! They've clearly figured out something pretty special up in New England.

What is your most memorable lottery moment?

Without a doubt, any time a jackpot hits that billion-dollar mark. It's just pure excitement. The anticipation is incredible. And then, the curiosity kicks in – who won? What are they going to do? If they're not anonymous, watching the aftermath of such a life-changing event is fascinating.

What would you do if you won the Powerball jackpot?

If I hit the Powerball, my sensible side would kick in, and I'd save most of it. But then, the fun would start! College funds for the kids, and I'd probably go a little overboard with adopting dogs. I'd love to support my favorite causes, too. And, you know, a celebratory vacation is non-negotiable.

Can you share an interesting fact about yourself?

This one's easy. I was accidentally born at home in Atlanta, Georgia.
