anything is possible if you put your mind to it.......

Why don't you contact Nettles and see if she knows who you can contact about it?  Even if you don't get the job, it may prove to be an interesting diversion...

Jump on their website and read the Quilifications for some of the positions a director needs these

Minimum Qualifications:

• Graduation from an accredited four-year college or university is required. (Management experience may be substituted for college on a year-for-year basis.)
• Five years of executive management experience is preferred.
• Experience in lottery operations is preferred.
• Willingness to work irregular hours; weekends, holidays, nights is required.
• Willingness to travel for job-related purposes is required.

Aside from the lottery operations clause, half the workforce in Texas would qualify.  Sounds as though they might have someone in mind already.  Someone who doesn't have a degree, but who has at least 3-4  years experience in management, and though it's ambiguous whether the same five years executive management counts toward the swap of experience/degree, likely anyone who can satisfy the executive management requirment has been around long enough to have both.

Now they just have to jump through the various hoops of a selection committee, frown thoughtfully, let a bit of time pass, and slip in whomever it is they've already got picked for the job.

Yea that's the way it's usually done regardless of wether the person has the gumption or not.

There's a lot more to the job description, qualifications, and endorsements security checks etc etc. than the few blurbs i posted. All in all the best candidate should have some kind of proven track record in lottery related business.

It will be difficult finding this communitee post with having these requirements.

You could demand one.

If it pays more than my current job (which isn't saying much) I'd be happy to take it. Evidently I wasn't enough of a critic.

they do this to make sure the person is smart enough for the job.that way somebody off the street doesn't end up with it.....
