Mississippi lottery board adopts rules on ethics and recordsReply
Mississippi was just hammered by tornadoes yesterday. The Lottery could be a ray of sunshine for the citizens to look forward to. Some fantasy to escape reality for a bit of time. God Bless!

2nd lottery bill filed in the Alabama SenateReply
Coin Toss, when l posted Southern States l meant those particular States that have or are thinking of having a State lottery. Utah Nevada do not nor are contemplating having one, at this time. Mississippi Alabama got strong resistance from the religious leadership community, as you well know. I don't think l was being unfair in my assessment.

$768.4 million Powerball lottery jackpot won by single ticket sold in WisconsinReply
When I lived in Ohio I'd have no problem agreeing that a Great Lake state would win the PB jackpot as would anyone living in any of the 8 great lake states that includes New York. Are the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers considered a large body of water ?

No sales tax on Mississippi lottery tickets, but winnings will still be taxedReply
From the OP; This is a blow to Jackson, where Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba had been counting on lottery ticket revenue from a 1-cent sales tax in the city tacked on to the 7-cent state sales tax. Anyone this ignorant about lotteries shouldn't ba allowed to have anything to do with them. Yo there, Mr. Mayor........If your state gets a lottery they will get lotto machines, have you ever seen a lotto machine that takes paper currency and coins? Despite Mississippi's efforts to get the

Alabama lawmakers provide insight into upcoming push for state lotteryReply
Alabama, Mississippi people already go to Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, or Louisiana for their lottery numbers. They've been doing that for decades now. They already know how to play the lottery, it will not be something new for them.

Mississippi governor appoints lottery corporationReply
Not only will having their own lottery keep all that lotto fever money in-state, but also attract that Alabama lotto fever money. Tuscaloosa has a population of about 100k and it's only about an hour drive from there to the Mississippi border. I think sharing a border with another no-lotto state made it easier for officials in both states to keep the lottery out (like Nevada and Utah currently). But I predict Alabama will soon follow suit now that they will be losing money along the entire borde

N.J. family that won $429 million lottery jackpot is 'praying' it forwardReply
Remember those influential Mississippi Baptist leaders, who said that lotteries were spiritually corrupting and the games created unrealistic hopes for people who struggle to pay their own living expenses? Those folks have probably now heard of Pastor Pearlie Mae. They would probably also say She is Pentecostal, us Baptist Pastors, we don't do that stuff down here!... while licking their lips.

Mississippians anxious to start playing lotteryReply
Sure they anxious to start, but in the meantime, it will not stop those who have been going out of state to purchase their tickets, from doing so. It doesn't hurt to have relatives in neighboring states, from helping out till Mississippi gets their game up to speed.
