Gold Rush - subscription sales in CA were never more than about 1.5% of sales for the available games and because of the way they chose to operate the subscription system (as a phony baloney, unautomated [meaning manual handling of subscriotion requests], make work job support system for state employees) it was actually a drain on profits for CA education.

I never had a doubt that MM was legal in CA - the wording of the enabling Ammendment and Legislation is not ambiguous in this area. T... [ More ]

I'm happy that CA kept MM in order to get money raised for education and maybe have a balance budget and/or surplus. However, I'm disappointed that my guess was wrong (guess was CA win lawsuit to stop MM).

The California Lottery ran a subscription service a few years ago, they should do so again. it would raise more revenue for education.

The ruling is a crushing blow to a small but vocal anti-lottery group,... [ More ]
