How about a bill making it illegal to have a scratch ticket that costs more than $1

A doubling of the top-priced scratch ticket sold by the New Hampshire lottery would trigger increased sales for only the next two to three years, the states lottery chief warned Wednesday.Sweepstakes Commission Executive Director Rick Wisler advised lawmakers they could avoid a return trip by amending a bill and permitting the eventual top-priced ticket to go from $10 to $25.The lottery would go to the higher-priced ticket over a period of many years, he stressed.We manage our (top-rate) price p...
