According to a Florida Lottery official, the state has finally bowed to a retailer and public demand to sell Mega Million Lottery tickets.
Florida already participates in the Powerball Lottery, and adding Mega Millions means it finally has a full house of lotteries.

It was feared that the addition would impact services that the Florida Lottery caters to.
Florida Lottery officials seem to think otherwise now; in the last year, the Florida Lottery had a record year with lottery ticket sales of over $4,45 billion.
Adding the Mega Millions Lottery should generate even more lottery revenue.
