(2002-08-30) — As part of a continuing effort to assert its independence, the Palestinian Authority has applied to join the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL), a coalition of 24 U.S. states which offer the PowerBall lottery, among other government-sponsored games of chance.
“No one questions the statehood of Pennsylvania, Nebraska or Wisconsin, and they’re all members of MUSL,” said a Palestinian spokesman. “We dream of the day when the people of the Jenin refugee camp can enjoy the same freedoms as many inner-city Americans.”
Saturday’s PowerBall jackpot will be worth $63 million (U.S.) — $36.2 million with the cash option.
