This story didn''t give me any other facts. Like how much total income does a lottery bring in and how much is spent on administrating. How much is given out for winnings. What if nobody played the lottery for a month, da. Your story was a commetary, it lacked facts. Come on CBS don''t try to mislead people.

crzmeat that right it was. Learnt that in school. I don''t play it. Today they blow their money on it thinking yer going to win the big one and they don''t. Can''t lose if yer don''t play. They can''t stop at one ticket.. They whine over the fact they blew their cash..and the stores will take it..There in business to make money.. The person buying the ticket need to have common sense. They spend let''s say $10. They spend that and walk away. That''s using yer head.

THE LOTtERY, in the mid 60''s here in Texas they told us to vote for the 2% sales tax and it would never get larger tha the orginal 2% to day we are told that due to the fact we voted for the 2% tax the cities and counties can now charges us what ever they with and it is 8 1/4 in the cities and about 7 /1/2 in the counties unless the country officers wish and they can and do charge the additional penny.
i recall w;hen Ann Richard came in and told us all the lottery monies except the amount paid out to the winners would go to the school and then came the screming IDIOT gw bush and he took it away. Today less than 20% is going to the permant school funds and the remaining 30 is to advertisement and the most recently approved "r. perry toll roads" which (is his retirement investment) and the lottery.
Gee how some politicians steal and get away with it.

Who is getting most of it? why not a audit posted in the paper and lets just see where it goes every 6 months or even monthly . They take in a many of a dollar and if the politicians are in fact getting it and it is not going to education we will all know This should be done from every state that takes 1$ in for the lottery there certainly should be some accountability for this money

If your interested the first lottery in this country was to finace the revolution to avoid taxation. Like gunnerv1 says if you don''t like it don''t play.
