We at the Wisconsin Lottery would like to thank all of our good friends in the media for hyping today's drawing. The media has been just wonderful talking up "Powerball Fever". Their comments about the excitement of playing the lottery and what people would do if they won are just wonderful for driving sales of lottery tickets, especially since we're bound by law not to be able to say anything like that ourselves.
So, to the local newspaper, radio and television reporters, thanks.
