Florida Joins With 22 Other States In New Game
TALLAHASSEE (AP) — Lottery players in Florida, listen up - there is a new opportunity for you to win some big bucks.
Florida is joining 22 other states that will be selling tickets for a new lottery game called Monopoly Millionaires Club.
This new game is based on the popular Monopoly board game but is a departure from other type of games where the jackpot goes up until someone finally wins it.
Monopoly Millionaires Club has a top prize of $25 million. Lottery officials say the game is designed to allow more players an opportunity to become "millionaires."
The game is scheduled to launch on Oct. 19. Tickets will cost $5.
A game show tied to Monopoly Millionaires Club is scheduled to begin airing in 2015.
Florida already sells tickets for two other multi-state games: Powerball and Mega Millions.
