The Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL) is a non-profit, government-benefit association owned and operated by agreement of its 33 member lotteries (see below). MUSL was created to facilitate the operation of multi-jurisdictional lottery games, including, Mega Millions, Hot Lotto, Powerball, video lottery, and instant (scratch) tickets. MUSL was formed in December 1987 by seven American lotteries. Its first game was launched in February 1988, ''Lotto *America''. That game was changed to Powerball; its first drawing was in April 1992. Powerball was a unique game using two drums, suggested to MUSL by Steve Caputo of the Oregon Lottery. As of May 2015, Mega Millions and Powerball were offered in the same 45 jurisdictions, including the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. (Mega Millions became part of MUSL on January 31, 2010, although it is operated by its 12 original members.) ==Members== MUSL's membership consists of 33 lotteries, including those of the District of Columbia, and the Virgin Islands,〔(MUSL - Members )〕 which offered Powerball prior to the January 31, 2010 beginning of cross-selling with the 12 lotteries operating Mega Millions.
