NAACP wants Texas Lottery shut downReply
I imagine the NAACP will want all cigarette, cigars, and alcohol sales to cease. And while you're at outlawing entertainment outlets some people enjoy, why not outlaw movie theaters, professional sports, and first class anything because all of those either fill kids heads with delusional dreams (pro sports career) or takes money that could be spent on food andhouseholds necessities. And since not everyone can afford to travel in first class, don't offerout to those who can since it makes coach p

Harry Reid pushing to legalize online poker for American casinos, horse tracksReply
I assumed it meant all the sports betting the casinos now offer, but online through their websites; horse racing, football, baseball,basketball, etc. Some will have poker rooms, bingo, keno, and slot machines. Reid's bill will have to set up a National gaming commission to monitor and regulate them.

Columnist proposes lottery for new Vikings stadiumReply
I agree with both of the above posts. It is extortion and they do like to shop around. If a team wants to stay in a city, let them build their own stadium. These franchises make millions and the team owners are typically billionaires. Typically, the jobs they provide are lower-end jobs so there's no argument there either. I can think of a dozen better ways to spend money than on a sports team.

£10 million lottery winner blows fortune, in debtReply
What, so you don't think the jackpot should be spent on 5 sports cars and construction of a full-sized home theater with 10,000 DVDs? Who said men aren't as good as women at handling finances?

High rate of Tenn. Lottery scholarships are lost by bad gradesReply
One of the key problems with youth today, is that our society puts actors, singers and sports figures on a higher pedestal than scientists, and academics. Their are more TV biographies on Britney Spears, than on Albert Einstein. I have a 16 year old niece and I have told her numerous times, she should at least learn how to type, file, learn AP systems. She has no interest in any of it. She is going to be an actress. Thats it, she has no back up plan.

Court may shut down Mega Millions in CaliforniaReply
Prior to California joining MegaMillions press releases go out about potential $500,000,000 jackpots. (With that many nmore potential players).As California comes in, numbers are added to top and bottom (look at an old and new play slip), taking the odds from 140:000,000 : 1 to 176:000,000 : 1.If Califonia does leave, the odds will remain jacked up.Not too much different than when the casino sports books used to offer football parlay cards with half-point pointspreads and advertise Ties push o

Powerball lottery winners talk about hitting the jackpotReply
The discussion is not about a guy with the ability to drive a sports car. This is the man named Cheney that could hardly walk to his chair; due to illness, not a handicap. Keep it in perspective. There are 80 year olds walking the Wall of China, this old guy is not ever going to be one of them.
