Did My State Ever Win the Lottery?

A friend once asked if we could create a summary of what states won the various Lottery Jackpots. He lives in Connecticut and didn't think his state ever had a winner. Another day, I overheard someone in an elevator saying that New Jersey never had a Mega Millions winner.

Keeping this in the back of our minds, we tried to think of ways to produce these reports. Finally, it hit us, why not use Google Charts to illustrate the Hot and Cold States.

Over the weekend, we released our first 4 summaries:

• Where the Mega Millions Winners Were Sold
• Where the Powerball Winners Were Sold
• Where the EuroMillions Winners Were Sold
• Where the Hot Lotto Winners Were Sold

We selected these because we could illustrate each of the individual states and countries in map form. Unfortunately, the provincial break down of Canada, regions of Ireland, and counties of California aren't yet available. We will generate an alternate presentation of these lotteries shortly. Lastly, we will create summaries for the UK Lotto and Thunderball minus the geographic breakdown which isn't immediately available.

We hope you find the above pages informative and educationally helpful!

PS: As of this date, CT had 2 Powerball winners, and NJ leads the pack with 17 Mega Millions Jackpot winners.
