Well my friend I don't live in Nevada, so can't comment on what goes on there. Never have I been either. But I think casino's just want fat pockets, and the state deservest better. No business can run everything. Casinos are a type of industry, and lotteries another. I say let there be competition. As this is what this country is all about. Keeps everyone in check.

Now Nevada citizens won't have to drive to the NV/CA State borders to buy Lottery tickets.
