gas prices and the lottery--a pollReply
I back the proposition that higher gas prices will affect lottery sales. It would help online gambling sites that offer lottery tickets. If you only plan to buy one or two tickets, it is cheaper to pay an extra dollar per ticket to an online company than pay for the gas to drive a number of miles to purchase them. Orangeman

Sign the petition - eliminate computerized drawings!Reply
Thanks for the interesting link. The first thing I found interesting was how profitable the Megaplier is, and it really makes me wonder why all states don't offer it.With regard to the computerized drawings discussion, I found that the Textas Lottery Commission (TLC) Board appears to be hypnotized by computerized lottery drawing people/companies.The testimony of the A M professor was amazing in that he must have spoke for an hour, and said what could be boiled down into one minute.
