Missouri Senate to discuss privatizing state lotteryNews Story
The Missouri Lottery will begin talks in April with the state Senate about moving control of the lottery from the government to the private sector. Lottery Executive Director May Scheve said it was difficult to comment on the issue because the Missouri Lottery is currently ascertaining the opinion of state vendors on the matter; privatization was only recently brought up by the Senate's Rebooting Government initiative. We really haven't engaged in conversation with the Senate, Scheve said

Have you ever wondered why many lottery retailers are owned by members of certain racial minorities?
Here in the Marietta, Georgia area, it has been my observation that a very large percentage of lottery retailers are owned and operated by members of certain minorities, especially people of Middle Eastern descent.

The proposal leaves it up to the Legislature to w
