There are 44 state lotteries in the US, plus Washington D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Except for Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Mississippi, Nevada, and Utah, none of these jurisdictions has a national lottery. Nevertheless, many states offer popular lottery games like Powerball and Mega Millions. While these are not exactly national lotteries, their jackpots are often large enough to make the lottery a national pastime.
