Texas legislature defeats Internet lottery billReply
Money these families need to pay for groceries, the light bill or the rent could be wasted on the lottery instead, the two agreed. If their budgets are that tight, the odds are very good that they won't have a computer, internet access or a credit card. Besides, what's going to keep all those nasty poor people from walking down to their local 7-11 and spending that money on lottery tickets in spite of the lawmakers' opinions?

Australian man who won nearly $1 million in lottery gave it all awayReply
Todd is slow to put up a Top 25 until there's a juicy headline I suppose a bump partway through the drawing cycle is usually newsworthy, and a headline that writes itself, but I'd figure it's the size of the jackpot that really matters.
