Daily Millions
Daily Millions was a US lottery game administered by the Multi-State Lottery Association(MUSL). It was available in some of the jurisdictions that sell MUSL's most popular game, Powerball; membership fluctuated during the period when it was available. It began in September 1996 and was discontinued in March 1998. The game was drawn daily, including Sundays. Players paid US$1 for each game, which consisted of six numbers. Two numbers each were drawn from three colored number fields, each numbered from 1 through 21. The balls were dyed in the shades of the Flag of the United States, American flag; red, white, and blue, and drawn from three drum hoppers.

Cash
In economics, cash is money in the physical form of currency, such as banknotes and coins. In bookkeeping and financial accounting, cash is current assets comprising currency or currency equivalents that can be accessed immediately or near-immediately (as in the case of money market accounts). Cash is seen either as a reserve for payments, in case of a structural or incidental negative cash flow or as a way to avoid a downturn on financial markets. Etymology The English word "cash" originally meant "money box", and later came to have a secondary meaning "money". This secondary usage became the sole meaning in the 18th century. The word "cash" derives from the Middle French ''caisse'' ("money box"), which derives from the Old Italian ''cassa'', and ultimately from the Latin ''capsa'' ("box").. History In Western Europe, after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, coins, silver jewelry and hacksilver (silver objects hacked into pieces) were for centuries the only form of mone ...
