Alabama lottery won't happen in 2016Reply
Let the people that want to gamble, gamble. The ones that don't want to gamble, don't have to. One or the other is NOT mandatory. It's your personal decision to do either one. But some people want to force their anti-gambling (or any other anti-) views on every one else. Why? Other than that, it's the same old-same old arguments we hear every time a state wants to start a lottery. Ho Hum...

RNG states are probably doing a happy dance right now.

Connecticut lottery bills failReply
Noble said the bill would deprive the state of $8 million to $16 million a year in revenue from unclaimed lottery prizes, and possibly prevent Connecticut from selling tickets for the multistate games Powerball and Mega Millions, which require a 180-day prize claim period.

FBI warns about lottery fraudReply

...lawmakers aren't scheduled to return to the Capitol until April 4. So how long have they been on vacation? You can bet they're getting their paychecks.
