Since I heard we will have computerized drawing it all makes me glad we had the quarter store. I don't think we can fight that. People are so glad to get a lottery, they don't care what kind it is.

These people never seem to mention that for 20+ years the PEOPLE of the State of North Carolina have wanted a lottery.The opponets have pulled every trick in the book to block the WILL OF THE PEOPLE.They need to get out of the way,or get out of the state!Today,NC has agreed to join the Powerball lottery to generate large interest in the games.The boat has sailed.

I'll tell you this much...if the lottery is stopped because of this buffoonerie, I will most likely move to Fort Mill, SC. And if they think I'm kidding, then TRY me.
