- Lotto_South abstract "Lotto South was a lottery game in Georgia, Kentucky, and Virginia. It resulted from the September 2001 merger of three smaller jackpot games, one from each of the three lotteries. This was done in an attempt to create larger jackpots; oddly, the 6/49 matrix of Virginia's game was not expanded. Drawings took place at WTVR-TV studios in Richmond, Virginia, on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 11:00PM EST/EDT. Jackpots began at $2 million (annuitized); top-prize winners could choose to be paid either in 30 annual payments, or the cash option. The game was jointly administered by the Georgia Lottery, Kentucky Lottery, and Virginia Lottery corporations.Sales of the game began on September 9, 2001. Its record jackpot was $27 million, won on December 31, 2005.The three lotteries hoped that others in the Southeast would join the game; in fact, South Carolina almost joined, which would have resulted in numbers added to the game's field of 49. However, South Carolina was unsuccessful in having the drawing nights moved, as, at the time, the SCEL offered only Powerball, which also was drawn Wednesdays and Saturdays.The game had four prize levels; players needed to match at least three numbers to win. All prizes were paid on a parimutuel basis. The jackpot was paid either in cash or 30 annual payments, according to the winners' wishes. In January 2006, it was announced that the game would be retired; its final drawing took place on February 25. That jackpot was not won; the lower-tier prizes doubled (instead of rolling down the entire prize pool, which lotteries often do when a jackpot game is retired.) The three lotteries kept the rest of the money. Lotto South′s replacement was Win for Life, which ended in 2011 in Kentucky and winter 2014 in Georgia; Win for Life was retired on September 13, 2014, after which Virginia replaced it with $1,000,000 Moneyball. There were plans to revive Lotto South in 2010, in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, as well as in Georgia, Kentucky, Virginia, and possibly Arkansas; however, plans were put on hold because of the cross-sell expansion of Mega Millions and Powerball on January 31, 2010 (each of the seven lotteries offered either game before then, joining the other on the expansion date.)Georgia, Kentucky, and Virginia began sales of Decades of Dollars on January 30, 2011. (Arkansas joined on May 3.) Decades of Dollars is drawn on Mondays and Thursdays. Each game costs $2; players choose 6 numbers out of 47, winning by matching at least 2 numbers. The top prize is $250,000 yearly paid in 30 installments; a cash option ($4,000,000) is available. (Decades of Dollars will become a Virginia-only game in October 2014, as the other three lotteries will be part of the launch of Monopoly Millionaires' Club.)".
