Unusual ProposalReply
I voted no. If it's too good to be true, it is. The easiest person to con is another con man. Anyone offering you such a proposal is more than likely going to pull some kind of gypsy switch on you and leave you with a briefcase of blank paper.

Bill limiting lottery prizes of people on public aid failsReply
Although I think that the end proposal was not encompasing enough, I think Rep. Stacey Campfield's FOCUS is on folks receiving government aid (anotherwards, monies from the annual tax payers within our country) who are spending perhaps more than $10 a week on lottery tickets ... not folks playing with less of the 'free money' from other people's forced kindnesses (taxes) towards them! As far as jail prisoners goes, if I were placed in jail rapidly AFTER the date of winning the jackpot -- I w

I'm guilty of copying and pasting, and sometimes I do express my ideas in my words. Having said that. How do you feel about this, in your own words? I guess each proposal for a particular betting game has to have the right moral/ratio/profit equivalent....lol Thanx for sharing.

Governor's plan to lease Vt. state lottery comes up a loserNews Story
Some called it the final nail in the coffin. Some called it a eulogy. Whatever they called it, members of the state Senate said a bill they passed Tuesday will likely stand as a tombstone over Gov. James Douglas' proposed lease of the state lottery. The bill seems fairly mundane in itself. It requires lawmakers' approval before the lottery could be leased something that might well have been required by law already. And the administration was already planning on obtaining Legislative accepta

Tennessee Gov. wants to spend lottery reserveReply
Bredesen said the lottery scholarships could move beyond being solely a merit-based program because not enough help is available for students who need financial help to go to college. One area where Bredesen said he expects to make little progress is in resurrecting last year's failed proposal to offer free community college tuition for any high school student with a C average. Spending the money on the merit-based college tuition and c average students' college tuition are the best

Tennessee Gov. wants to spend lottery reserveNews Story
Excess money would be distributed to school districts Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen said Thursday the state lottery's huge cash reserves need to be distributed. Bredesen, a Democrat, has abandoned last year's proposal to create a $100 million pool that would have served as collateral to improve credit ratings for school districts, he told The Associated Press in an interview Thursday. The legislature wanted to spend it, they didn't want to put it aside to enhance credit, Bredesen said.
