I would like to place a bet but I found out that sports betting is illegal in my state. Bummer. I've never done it before and would like to give it a try. Ah well.

OTOH if California had legalized sports betting, Oshani's interpreter would not in hot water right now. Their coffers would really be bursting if it ever was addressed there---don't know about that!

New Jersey Lottery will begin selling tickets onlineReply
1961 Federal law which IMHO is long outdated prohibits this. That being said Sports Betting seems to be opening up a bit, so maybe the lotteries will be next. Have yet to find a lobbyist organization for lotteries though.

Mississippi Lottery passes $2 billion in gross salesReply
Played their lottery in Biloxi finally. Noticed they just added Double play to Powerball. A letter was mailed to them to compliment on them getting a lottery because they did not rush into it and memory says they thoroughly researched other lotteries before starting. Mentioned before, I think about WDRB interviewing me a year ago November regarding sports betting in Kentucky. I don't do that but mentioned folks will just go to neighboring states to bet. It did not pass, then suddenly it went

Court finds that skill games are legal in PennsylvaniaReply

California woman who overcame homelessness wins $5 million lottery prizeReply
My favorite kind of story...rags to riches feel good story. Memory says some guy I think in Illinois was still homeless when he won buckets of money on a lottery ticket. OTOH Massachusetts getting closer to having on-line lottery sales. They just passed on-line sports betting. Funny the article had the same argument used here in KY that it would hurt brick and mortar stores. This has been disproven. My goodness, my Puritan minded homestate coming out of 1620 mentality. Happy De
