You know i am going to put this in my blog but i first decided to put it on the discussion forum to see what you all thought about it...I before put on the discussion forum that i felt that teenagers age 12-17, should be allowed to play lottery...I feel strongly about that...Because think about it, just the same way you feel so excited and you say that you want to win the lottery so bad, teenagers feel the same way, except that they can't play...Let's look at Vermont Weekly Grand Game...You are going to tell me that teenagers wouldn't like to win 1,000 a week for 20 years just like grown ups....

And i thought, why don't they create a Weekly grand game, specialized for teenagers, that is pentastate [played in 5 states] or more state that cost 25 cents per ticket only for kids/teenagers...Not only that but for kids/teenagers to be able to play that specialized game for them they must have like a card with a chip that limits how much each teenager plays in 1 day...The limit could be 25 cents per day or 50 cents per day...The teenager/kid goes to lottery terminal or store show the card the guy on the counter scan it with a scan and either gives it a go or not..The teenager if he/she wins he would have to show i.d to prove he/she is a teenager...Can this happen? Look at Virginia Cash5 for 25 cents, it plays twice a day and they have an aggreggate money of 2 million per drawing and i bet that less than 4% of the population of that state plays that game....I know is not from mainly 25 cents...And it doesn't have to be 1,000 a week for 20 years it could be a car that they give for teenagers, though i am more in favor of the Weekly Grand Prize....With that 1,000 a week for 20 years, kids will be able to buy their own house when they grow up in 4 years and afford college....Something else that it could be for teenagers/kids is a scholarship for college...But again i am more in favor of the Weekly Grand game payout for teenagers/kids...

You may say, not enough teenagers/kids but i think there are an equal number of grown up as well as kids...Think about it 2 people unite and usually how many kids do they have? 2 or 3...

Going back to the game, Weekly grand is a Pick4/35 + Pick1/35 and it cost 2 dollars per ticket and is a tri-state game...But if it was an octa-state game the price of each ticket will be reduced to 25 cents and it could even play twice a week but that will be too much for teenagers/kids....Imagine if it was played in 14 states like MegaMillions but only for Kids/teenagers and they play it twice a week...IT COULD WORK...

so i'll like to know what's you all opinion....

with the chip card no kid will be able to cheat, they will not be able to play more than 25 cents daily or 50 cents daily...

The Forex trades: 1.6 Trillion dollars EVERY day, that´s more than the GDP of the Carribbean Central America, COMBINED. Enough to feed every crook out there for centuries...To all Geniuses & Powers Countries of the World the Planet needs breakthroughs in all Medicine, Veterinary, Biology related fields, Psychology, Population Psychology/Sociology..They need to genetically ingeneer new plants species/types to give more variety of plants and thus have more resources for combating diseases¨

How about A lottery for teenagers that gives away a 5 year scholarship to an Ivy League School or to America's Top 50 universities...LOL...

That will surely be wonderful...That way then they can create the game twice a day everyday after it is a octa-state game or a game played in 14 states...

so it will be like the weekly grand except that it last 5 years or 6...awesome idea...

So if you do the count Weekly grand of 1,000 a week for life will pay 4 kids 5 year scholarship to America's Top 50 universities....So because it is an deca-state game instead of a tri-state the price will cost 25 cents and they will play it TWICE A DAY if in fact they do follow the example of Virginia Cash5...If is more state then even better...so 365 days x 2 times a day equal = 730 x FOUR 5-year scholarship to America's Top 50 universities = 2,920 almost 3,000 teens will get a 5 year scholarship to any of America's Top 50 universities...

And that will be 3,000 teens with 5-year scholarship each year...I wonder if housing is included...California alone could replace the deca-state game....

It will be bigger than American Idol...Ask yourself i don't know much about American Idol but don't all those teens got to pay for their plane ticket which can come out to be what 600 dollars or 700 dollars and this is every year so it is 600 dollars each year multiplied by the housing/hotel, times food and transportation...Now how much will 25 cents a day run = 91 dollars and 25 cents...and i know teens/kids are not going to play everyday...And how many winners will there be in American idol? 1 plus 5 minor ones, while this plan creates 3,000 students-teens EACH DAMN YEAR with 5-year ivy league scholarships or America's top 50 colleges/universities....And this is not the entire country is only 10 states...

in American idol in 3 years there will be 3 winners and 15 minor ones, while with this plan there will be in 3 years, 9,000 teens in ivy Lueague Colleges/Universities....

And if it was a 20-state game instead of a 10-state game there will be 6,000 teens winners in 1 damn year...Of course Theoretically...And after 5 years there will be i think 1,000 teens extra each year besides the 3,000 or 6,000 teens...LOL...

i know you are saying it can't be possible but rememeber in Va Cash5 i bet less than 5% of the population plays that game while in this scenario every teen will be playing it and is not just 1 state but 10 of them...

Pumpi I don't mean to sound rude, and you are certainly entitled to your own opinion, but to answer your question concerning my opinion...this idea is bad on so many different levels of wrong I don't know where to begin...

As for your other suggestions about lottery scholoarships...schools already do this in the form of scholarships...the government does it to in the form of grants. It costs nothing but a little time and consideration in getting your paperwork in on time and having it filled out correctly.

Have fun

Well i don't know much about the Hope scholarship or any state scholarhip sponsored by the lottery, but i don't think it will support you to go to an ivy luegua school, plus it only pays certain things it doesn't pay room and board, while with the plan i am talking it will....Plus, how many kids make it to the ivy lueague with the Hope scholarship...I remember i had the hope for 1 year because i think i had a 3.7 or 3.5 GPA that year but lost it the following year and i think they told me you had to wait 1 year lapse before you could get it again....i just don't remember exactly how it went down...Oh and the hope was paying like half of stuff it was only paying certain things...

With this you have up to 5 years to graduate when the graduating time is 4 years....Plus there are many kids on the streets that will like to do something with their lives and can't do it...

With the HOPE you have to sweat really hard to mantain that 3.0 or 3.5 that is require i don't remember...And i forgot to mention with this plan the state will still have its aggreggate money...

I don't know what people got against LOTTERY BALLS gambling what they should be stopping is drinking and cigarrettes and exceesive speeding, all those things kill you or harm you, LOTTERY BALLS GAMBLING DOESN'T NOT HARM YOU it takes your dollar away and 50% of it goes for a good cause like paying for the state education and the other 50 cents for for the chance to win a winfall and the majority of people play 2 or 3 dollars quick pick...

ask the question don't you wish your kid was better than you, don't you wish he went to the colleges/universities you couldn't go and become what you couldn't be....

and by the way you wasn't rude...thanks for your opinion...

I read on Fox News that in America there is over i think it was 1 BILLION or 5 BILLION OR 18 BILLION worth of lose change....And i think this is every year, i say put them to good use...

It was a bad idea six months ago and it's still a bad idea... Besides, their parents can play, there's no reason they need to either and besides there are plenty of parents who buy for or give their kids lottery tickets when they ask about it. The big thing is that thankfully, at least to some extent, gambling isn't such a big taboo as certain other things that have restrictions on it that IMO do more harm than good due to that taboo or "forbidden fruit" label placed on it.

For reference, your topic from last year that I dug up.

If you let teenagers do anything because "they want to", you'll be opening up more than just the lottery. The idea is to wait until they are at a mature enough age where they can make responsible decisions about gambling, smoking, porn, etc. 12 is not it.

but i keep forgetting that the State lottery doesn't do what's best for the country, if it wants to see that country florish it does what's best for its pocket...Even though this method will be an extra source of income...

i also feel they should increase the amount in speeding tickets...100 dollars on a speeding ticket is not enough, they should increase it to 400 dollars if they really want to prevent more deaths...but like how i said before, America is sadistic....

who knows this game of scholarships could generate extra 200 or 300 million dollars for the state...

I know kids age 12-14 may not want to play unless they are spur up/compel by their parents...But kids age 15/16-17 sure will want to play for that chance...You know how kids get hyped up about their favorite school they want to go...This may sound funny but i am willing to bet that even teachers in high schools, middle schools will compel students to go and play their ticket...But this will work if you make it big and you make a lot of winners each time....

you may laugh at this but you know what's the must absurd news i heard last night on Fox news with Glen Beck? I heard that California is thinking to LEGALIZE POT BECAUSE is in a shortage of fund...

and you are going to tell me you are going to legalize marihuana but you can't create this game for teenagers....What message are you telling me, that you like the bad and hate the good....So much that they claiming that kids are not getting a good education...

People will say oh that is too good to be true everyone will study in an ivi lueage school well let me tell you, America is the land of the free you are suppose to live like that....

Tell me what will that say about America when 3,000 to 6,000 to 9,000 kids/teenagers EACH year make it to the ivy lueage University or America's Top 50 universities...So much that they talk about quality education...

and don't you watch American idol don't you watch those long lines from the helicopter from each state all wanting to get in when there is only 1 winner...

and i totally forgot about this one: Some state don't use lottery money for education and some states don't have a lottery....

did you know that people join the military just for the free scholarship they offer, they are not interested in the military but just because of the scholarhip the military offers they join....I am telling you because i've heard it several times in my 2 years in the military...

Because lotteries are businesses, not charity organizations. It's called capitalism. Do you accept a paycheck from anyone? People working for the lotteries need to feed their families as well.

I am not talking about a free lotto here i am talking about people paying for the lottery...I feel that if you are paying at least you should have 5% saying on how it should be run...I am talking that the state will have its aggreggate money and will make its additional money 50%, plus the taxes....That's what i am talking about...I don't think capitalism got nothing to do with it for capitalism i think it involves the private sector...

what about patriotism and wanting to make America better...Yeah they talk they want to make America better but that's just talk....

And i am going to say it if you have online gambling but it is not specifically built to make a better country then online gambling is worthless.....You know why online gambling is worthless? Because if Pick3 was a Pick3 from 0-6 and pick4 was a Pick4 from 0-6 or 7 we will not need online gambling if every state had a Pick6/25 like West Virginia that cost 50 cents or 25 cents like Virginia Cash5 that play 5 times a day we will not need online gambling, and notice that in all the cases people are paying for their tickets and the government is getting its share...So USA be aware of it....about that case of creating 3,000 teens to go to Ivy Lueage colleges that is strategically improving a country through the help of a lottery....The only reason why we will need online gambling is for games other than the lottery, like computer games and video games...i am infavor of online gambling but i am more in favor of a Lotto Stock Exchange or a Game Stock Exchange and a Volunteering Stock Exchange or a House Stock Exchange for America and for Europe and Asia...

and something politicians don't see...Not creating a lottery to constructively built a country or improve a country then it becomes like a cigarette despite that no harm is done...

I am more in favor of a Lotto Stock Market that i am in favor of online gambling...When i say a lotto stock market i am referring to a system of betting or something that will have the same magnitude as the USA Stock Market...Something that will move money around and a place where people can place their money and see it grow at who knows 3% a year or 7% a year with minor risk for that's how the stock market works it works like a bank [half of it]....

the best deal is to make online gambling in 1 country and see how it works and then use that model in other countries meaning let another country be the ginea pig first....
