From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Players of the seven-state Daily Millions lottery have a five-month losing streak, leaving local governments the winners.

The top prize for Daily Millions stays at $1 million and does not grow if there is no winner. About half the proceeds from ticket sales goes to local governments.
