Jomacinrow,

For the moment forget the fact that some states have sold their lotteries to private firms (but the state of course still gets a bite).

Take a state like Georgia, lotto but no casinos (I'm guessing from your post).

Who owns the lottery and gets the profits?

Georgia.

Now let's say they legalized casinos, like Mississipppi for example) and who owns those casinos? Isle of Capri, Harrah's, the Horseshoe, etc....

Who owns the casinos and gets the profits?

The casinos,... [ More ]

Standard Operating Procedure. They write laws for us, not them. They always exempt themselves.

Just like Obamacare.

Obamacare doesn't apply to Obama or Congress, just us.

They get gold-plated healthcare for the rest of their lives that we pay for.

We have to buy the crap they tell us to or pay a fine and go to jail.

Pretty good deal, huh?

Ain't we lucky

How can states (such as Georgia) consider Gambling illegal and state-ran Lotteries (Georgia Lottery Coropartion) not a form of Gambling?? It seems like the Same thing to me, can anyone explain the wordage in the laws that allow this/make this determination?

Thanks for any inputs
