Dataset of the Day: Mega Millions!!!!
As I was driving into work today and listening to the radio I heard some interesting news. The Mega Millions drawing for tonight is up to a value of $212 million. Wow! With a ticket only costing $1 I have decided to go out and buy one. Will I end up winning? Ha, fat chance, but why not?
In honor of the high amount of prize money I have decided to put together a few lottery maps by using Finder! and Maker! I’m hoping that this work and this blog will in some way shower me with good luck/good karma and reward me with the lucky jackpot numbers. We shall see …
My first map is of states that participate in the Mega Millions contest. It is in these states where you may purchase a mega millions ticket (or two).

The second map is the locations of previous winners.

And the third map is of state lottery sales in 2006

Now with all this work I am sure to win the lottery. I believe the rest of the day I will plan on how to spend my millions. Ahahahahaha.
