In your profile, AL is for Alabama, right? That's where you live?

They have no morals? Does that include you? You don't care what you do with your ( their ) money?

That's the strangest post I've seen in L.P. this week. Take heart, there's still several days left. I'll be rootin' for yours, though.

(Psst- a little punctuation is a good thing

The Bug: Refresh my memory a bit here. We were remember driving through AL some years ago near voting season. There were signs from a Governor running for office with pro lottery message in the signs. When was this? Am thinking 15-20 years ago???

Thank you

From the OP;

I bought a lottery ticket in Tennessee. At the time that Power Ball was $3 billion dollars. People were driving all over to get a ticket. We need to have that here, said Coleman.

This kind of statement has such a familiar ring to it that I've got to know what username Coleman is calling himself here at LP.

Lotto, Powerball, Mega Millions is a given, but I hope they have different games not available in the nearby states.

Been waiting almost three days for a story about Alabama and the lottery.

Good catch music*, politicians should fact check things before writing or speaking about anything. Maybe the misconstrued word will get used. No, we didn't misconstrue what you said about PB $3 billion

Representative Merika Coleman the Power Ball reached $1.56 billion not $3 billion dollars. On Wednesday, January 13, 2016. Of course, we are waiting for a $3 billion jackpot!

Let us hear from the voters again, please.

A lottery bill is headed to the governor's desk in Mississippi. The bill passed the House and Senate in a special session meeting. Governor Bryant is expected to sign the measure into law. It is estimated the lottery could generate $40 million dollars its first year and $80 million dollars in subsequent years. We are told the lottery might not go into effect until 2019.

When it does begin in Mississippi, that means Alabamians can head, north, south, east or west to buy a lottery ticket. Howev... [ More ]
