I think all states lotteries should get a police committee so that the schools won't end up worst than what they were and guard against thieving hands.

the north carolina lottery has had to endure a lot.i think all of this will only help to make it stronger in the long run.any states in the future need to look closely at these things before starting up their own lotteries.there are a lot of pitfalls involved for those who are not careful or prepared.good luck to the north carolina lottery.i think they will be alright when its all said and done........
