Nevada panel passes lottery proposalNews Story
Over the opposition of two major gaming corporations, an Assembly committee voted 8-5 Thursday to let voters decide whether to legalize a state lottery. All Democrats on the Assembly Constitutional Amendments Committee backed Assembly Joint Resolution 5, while all five Republicans opposed it.

A lottery ticket run to the borderReply
As I left, it made me wonder, how many Southern Nevadans ran to the border for themselves and their friends, and how much money was leaving Nevada?

As I left, it made me wonder, how many Southern Nevadans Alabamians ran to the border for themsel

Nevada lawmakers propose lottery to fund educationReply
The only people who need be concerned about this are the people who operate the Nevada Numbers and the Nevada Keno games. Almost all of the remainder of the games are confined to casinos, or, in the case of some Keno games, are electronically transmitted to and from casinos that are under the same ownership. In addition, lotteries just don't have the flash, the atmosphere or the aura of casinos.Any state lottery in Nevada would rely mostly on the play of state residents.

Nevada lawmakers propose lottery to fund educationNews Story
Top Nevada Democratic lawmakers said Friday they're betting the time is right for the nation's No. 1 gambling state to create a lottery to solve what they called a crisis in education funding. Our classrooms are too large and not enough students have textbooks, said Assembly Speaker Richard Perkins, D-Henderson. He and two other elected Democrats called for a dedicated and directed funding stream for schools, which tend to perform below the national average in many surveys. Nevada ranks 48t

Businesses near Nevada border popular for lottery playersReply
I am not surprised, since Nevada does not have a state lottery. On the other hand, with Vegas and all the casinos, I am surprised Nevada does not have a state lottery. New Jersey has a big casino and one of the oldest state lotteries in the country - as far as I know they were the first state to have a daily numbers game (started 5/22/75). Why can't Nevada?
