Depends on whether this special session results in the legislature voting on a lottery, or all Alabamians voting on it. If the Legislature votes on it, it'll be approved, if the people vote it'll be voted down and Alaska will 100% chance be the next state to get a lottery.

Alabama may try lottery vote in special session
