Great Expectations For Mass Powerball
By Matthew L. Brown
Powerball tickets go on sale in Massachusetts Sunday at 7,500 retail outlets across the state and are expected to increase state lottery sales by about $50 million annually.
The state will begin selling Powerball tickets as part of a 33-state agreement to offer both Powerball and Mega Millions.
The addition of millions of players through the agreement is expected to increase the frequency of jackpots that exceed $100 million.
The addition of Powerball to the state's lottery offerings is expected to bring in between $10 million and $12 million in lottery profits during the current fiscal year, according to a statement from Tim Cahill, state treasurer.
