well, with poewrball, the jackpot money comes from all of the states, but north dakota would only pay a small percentage of that money.they do need scratch-offs because they are still going to lose money from bordering states that offer scratch-offs.they also need in-state games such as pick 3, pick 4, and pick 5 because they are going to still lose money to other states that offer those games.they have a long way to go.

that doesn't matter. a lottery should not be started up just to get sales off of jackpots created by other states. ND needs games outside of the MUSL, and that includes scratch-offs. even IA has a game of their own. ND will understand sooner or later that the players will get tired of the same games, and that they need something along the lines of a pick 3, pick 4, and pick 5 games. perhaps they should go in with SD on Dakota Cash. heck, i've been wanting the two dakotas to combing and become on...

Nearly a year after North Dakota unveiled its state lottery, former Gov. Arthur Link still gets annoyed waiting in line for someone else to splurge on the dream of a big payday.It happened just the other day, Link said, when he watched a man ahead of him in a convenience store hand over $2 for a couple of slips of paper. Link is among the lottery's foremost critics.Those with a sunnier view of the lottery point to a ledger that shows North Dakota's treasury raking in nearly $6 million since Marc... [ More ]
