online poll....will H.R. 411 become law?Reply
On the want it passed side obviously the tribal casinos who are paying for it. On the opposing side but only if they are smart is every state that has a lottery. Internet sales like what they are doing in BC, Canada and the National lottery in the UK is the future of lottery sales. If states don't act against this they could limit their ability to make money in the future.
