Explanation / Answer
Sorry, is there some part of Qn missing, Please find my comments on all Question. By "how would you do so" question it seems the state is being asked.
1. NC because the total winners are the highest among all the States
2. Virgin Island because they have the least chance of winning
3. I will market NC then
4. Yes, it is. Given you have a skew in distribution of winners, there may be demo graphical difference between the states, thereby making marketing difficult to do.
