Multistate lotteries are lottery games that are played across multiple states, allowing participants from different regions to buy tickets and compete for large jackpots. These lotteries pool ticket sales from various states, which increases the prize amounts and attracts more players. Popular examples include the Powerball and Mega Millions. The revenue generated from multistate lotteries is often used to fund public programs, such as education and infrastructure. Each participating state has its own regulations and receives a share of the proceeds, ensuring that local communities benefit from the lottery system while providing players with the chance to win substantial prizes.
