Virginia Lottery retailers refuse to sell tickets to draw attention to skill games amendment
Let's be crystal clear about what's happening here. The government is protecting a revenue source (the lottery). The whole thing about schools and churches is a way to achieve that goal.
Any government lottery official reading this would not be happy with me, but although I am a big supporter of the lottery, I am not a shill for the lottery.

Virginia Lottery retailers refuse to sell tickets to draw attention to skill games amendment
No disagreement from me that the government needs to regulate all forms of gambling in the state. 35% seems monumentally excessive however.

Alabama Lottery bill falls short by one vote
Alabama lawmakers sick of indecision following years of debate
By Kate Northrop
A bill to authorize a state lottery and casinos in Alabama failed by just one vote, the closest the state has ever come to enacting a state lottery since 1999.
One vote made the difference in the Alabama legislative session, resulting in voters just barely missing out on seeing a lottery question on the ballot this year.
The last time Alabama residents saw a lottery proposal in the voting booth was in
