North Carolina lottery director Tom Shaheen has been elected president of the multi-state association that runs the Powerball.

The Multi-State Lottery Association includes 32 lotteries. Shaheen will continue to run the North Carolina lottery. The multi state association establishes policies, oversees financial matters and approves new lotteries for membership.

Dome checked and is sure that Shaheen can't help anyone get an inside line on Powerball numbers.  

Before coming to North Carolina, Shaheen was the chief executive officer for the New Mexico Lottery Authority for over five years, and prior to that he was the executive vice president of operations and administration for the Georgia Lottery Corporation.
