Here’s something I wouldn’t

Here’s something I wouldn’t have expected. California is one of the states with the lowest rate of participation in Powerball.

California sells only 1.25 tickets per capita which is pretty far done on the list. Wonder why that is? Maybe MegaMillions is more popular here? Could it be that Californians just don’t think they will win? I don’t think of Californian’s as particluarly pessimistic, but maybe I’m wrong. Is there some reason that west coast states sell less? (California, Oregan and Washington are all well down the list)
