States without lotteries

What about california? michigan? mass? new york? Do you have to identify yourself to win?

I think this information is important information and encyclopedia worthy. 128.125.28.186 (talk) 19:46, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

you probably could add this information to the current table... just add a new column... I just don't know how to make tables though. 128.125.28.186 (talk) 19:48, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
