Tom Shaheen comes to North Carolina after leading the New Mexico lottery for five years. If the games start here within four months, Shaheen will earn a $50,000 bonus.
Money from the lottery is slated to help pay for pre-kindergarten programs, new teachers, new schools and college scholarships.
On Friday, lottery commissioners took a look at the numbers game in Nashville, Tenn. They watched the various elements that make the Tennessee games happen -- from gas station clerks who sell tickets to the ping pong-ball machines used for selecting numbers.
Lottery commissioners even bumped into a new millionaire claiming his winnings.
