DES MOINES (AP) - The Iowa Lottery has approved the Mega Millions lottery game in Iowa.

Monday's vote followed an agreement reached by U.S. lottery directors last month that calls for all U.S. lotteries to work toward cross-selling of the Powerball and Mega Millions games in 2010 and the development of a national lotto game in late 2010.

Powerball is sold in 30 states, including the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Mega Millions is sold in 12 states.

Iowa Lottery CEO Terry Rich says many details still need to be finalized but that Mega Millions tickets are scheduled to go on sale in Iowa on Jan. 31, 2010, with the first drawing that would include Iowa tickets set for Feb. 2.
