Why doesn't Utah have a lottery...Reply
Mississippi will have a tough time getting a lottery for the same reason Nevada would have a tough time getting one... Casinos. Mississippi citizens that support gambling go to or work for Casinos... The rest are conservative and feel like gambling is the root of all evil... I doubt it will happen anytime soon.

Why doesn't Utah have a lottery...Reply
Small population,religion and conservatism are the three main reasons these states don't have a state lottery.Utah is comprised mostly of Mormans.Utah,Nevada,Wyoming North Dakota have small populations that probably couldn't support a lottery. Arkansas,Mississippi, Alabama are in the Bible belt.I'd be very surprised if any of these states,with the possible exception of Arkansas,get a state lottery anytime soon,if ever.

Is it wrong to...?Reply
mjwinsmith If you were going to a Nevada sports book (the only legal ones in the country, so we'll use Nevada) and someone gave you a six team football paraly to bet, would you see anything wrong with betting the same six team parlay? Isn't a pick 6 lottery game the ultimate six team parlay? I don't see any difference. I also don't see any question of honesty in playing or not playing the same numbers....especially since in your examples you are assuming a solo jackpot, and you can n

Correlation btwn Lotto Players and Gambling in GeneralReply
I mainly play the lottery, but when I visit family members who live in Nevada, I end up playing the slot machines. I've always been too scared to actually sit down at a table and play poker and blackjack with other people (even though I've always wanted to). One of these days, I may actually get up the courage to do it. lol.

If your state doesn't have a lottery...Reply
I doubt Alaska and Wyoming would bother starting up state lotteries if just for the fact that neither state really has enough people for it to generate much revenue and could possibly lose money. I think it's pretty obvious why it wouldn't happen in Utah and Nevada/Bizarro Utah's casino/gambling industry and its lobbyist wouldn't allow the potential competition. As for Alabama and Mississippi I don't know what their issue is but it might be similar to Utah's though I doubt it's as strong of an i

Why is it beneficial to collect a lottery jackpot as a LLC?Reply
Forming a LLC for your assets can be done as a form of protection of assets, specifically from lawsuits, especially frivolous ones, something a trust won't really do, an LLC gives you a bit of protection I think. It's a rather popular thing to do, especially using Nevada as a base where the laws more friendly to asset protection compared to most other states.

Question about blind trusts...Reply
From Wikipedia A blind trust is a trust in which the executors or those who have been given power of attorney have full discretion over the assets, and the trust beneficiaries have no knowledge of the holdings of the trust. Blind trusts are generally used when a settlor (sometimes called a trustor or donor) wishes to keep the beneficiary unaware of the specific assets in the trust, such as to avoid conflict of interest between the beneficiary and the investments. Politicians often place

Found this surfing the web, Interesting article!!Reply
Readers should be aware that the article was written for people in Texas, which is a community property state. While most of the information likely applies elsewhere as well, not everything will. Those playing the lottery in non-community property states, especially, will find a few differences. It is my understanding that there are only nine community property states: Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin.

nevada lotteryReply
No, the gambling industry will continue to keep out any other competitor that could compete with casinos. Every dollar that someone spends on a state lottery is one less dollar in profit for a Nevada casino. As a result, when the issue of starting a state lottery comes up, gambling lobbyists lobby against the proposed state lottery, make claims that state lotteries are immoral, and release studies that show lotteries are played by lower economic level people who need the money for necessities.
