Arch Gleason fell victim to what kills a lot of senior citizens. Illness and falls. The illness may have affected him physically and mentally. He might have have been unsure about his balance and fell.

He will be missed. Rest in Peace.

How very sad. He sounds like a great example to the rest of the lottery heads.

Being a transplant to KY, I can honestly say Arch has done so much good for the KY lottery and college bound students as well. It is a very transparent lottery unlike other horror stories you can read about on LP.

He will be sorely missed and can only hope his replacement is as compassionate as he was.

Arthur L. Arch Gleason, the longtime head of the Kentucky Lottery Corp. died on Friday following a fall in Cincinnati.

Gleason, who was 69, had just announced his retirement three weeks ago after nearly 23 years as president of the Kentucky Lottery. He was the longest-serving lottery head in the nation.

I think that's what bothers us most, said Chip Polston, the lottery spokesman. He was finally at the point to enjoy the later years of his life and then this happens.
