Mississippians anxious to start playing lotteryReply
for crying out loud just start it in two weeks or so. there will be some corruption no matter how long you wait to implement it. start off with a gaggle of 1.00 and 2.00 scratch tickets and then add a daily numbers game and go from there. every week add another game or announce the joining of a multi-state game. keep the state's people on their toes wondering what game will they add this week. stimulates interest and sales.
