I live in a dry county in Arkansas that borders Missouri. A great number of people in this county drive to Missouri to play their lottery, buy their beer and wine. Missouri gets all the tax dollars and all Arkansas gets out of it is the trash.

with the lottery, the taxpayer has a chance to get some of the money back.....about the same chance as getting some state service for his/her buck...

LOTTOMIKE for your sake along with other lottery players near the border I hope Arkansas gets a ball drop lottery going very soon.

Georgia still doesn't have liquor or beer sales on Sunday.

the horse track in hot springs plus the dag track in west memphis might fight those lottery plans for the entertainment dollars.
