Society benefits from education. Everyone should contribute commensurate with their income or assets (property taxes).

You move to a new state when you're 80 yo and you gotta pay school taxes there? Why.

How about they just eliminate the property taxes for seniors entirely. School taxes too.

I can't speak for Pennsylvania. But the instant tickets in Maryland are horrendous. And they say there's so many grand prizes like 6 or whatever. Then when someone hits the first one. The game ends. It's very misleading.

It's my limited understanding that it's for instant tickets. Not draw games.

Targeting the 20$ tickets and up.

Based on what I've followed for the past few years . They have decreased the main Grand prize value for 10$ tickets from 1 million top prize now down to 500k . It's weird how they did the slow drip downwards In splicing the payouts.

new laws are to favor the state.. keep your eyes on the ball.. it's not about sharing .

I was reading this waiting to hear the 3 digit prize will increase from $500 to $600, but that's not what they had in mind.
