Intralot has been awarded the contract to operate the Montana Lottery for the next seven years. Intralot USA also operates the Nebraska on-line games (Powerball, Pick 5, 2by2, Pick 3); Our Greek parent company Intralot S.A. runs gaming systems all over the world. I currently work for the Nebraska operation, but my unofficial roles (as I see them; they're unofficial after all) are Network Engineer and Systems Jack-Of-All-Trades for all our USA operations. As such, I'll be configuring the core networking for the Montana operation, and will be involved in the systems setup as well. Thus, I'm likely going to be spending a wee bit o' time up in big Montana; Specifically, the state capitol Helena. It's much smaller my current residence of Lincoln, which is rapidly becoming too small to bear. As such, I'm looking forward to some quality entertainment.
On the bright side, perhaps I'll get to meet the author of the Second Best Page in the Universe, though I get the impression he lives in Missoula, which is over 2 hours away from Helena (though Nothing is close to Anything in Montana).
For reference: The Best Page in the Universe
Whether I can play the Montana-specific lottery games or not depends on the contract we negotiate with them. It will likely contain such a provision.

"Probably not."

So now you won't be able to play in the Montana lottery either?
