Whats Green and Goes 70 MPH
Whats green and goes 70mph. Mississippi money going to Tennessee and Louisiana to buy lottery tickets. It never ceases to amaze me at the lame excuses people want to use to keep the lottery from passing in Ms. if it was here and you didn't like it then just don't but a tickey. No one is going to twist your arm and make you get one. One of the best examples I knw of happened in Alabama. Fellow ran for Governor with the idea of putting the lottery in place and if your child graduated with a B average or better for the last two years of High School you could go to college for free within the state of Alabama. He won. When it went before the local voters they turned it down. Now lets see College going up almost every Semester and --- You just told your child if you work hard in school your hard work will not be rewarded. have the perfect video for it. Show a young couple with a new baby then jump forward to a child at graduation. Have the parent tell the child. Well we didn't care enough for you to go to college for free so we voted against the lottery. Go on down to the gravel pit and work with your brother.----Some say that folks will be spending their rent money on tickets. if a person has that bad of a gambling problem they will stand on the corner and bet on the color of the next car coming into view.

You got my vote, but be warned, I am generally opposed to almost any level of government intrusion into the private sphere of peoples' lives. If you want to buy a lottery ticket and if there is someone selling lottery tickets, buying it should be your affair. If there is no one selling one and if want them sold, you should be able to sell them yourself whether any other people buy them or not.

Interesting, and why would they be concerned about the casinos profits?

And they are willing and able to spend large sums of said profits to keep a lottery from happening.Originally Posted by feeshrman

Agreed Boar.. The money Ms is supposed to be getting from these casinos to improve the areas is a joke. Just come to Greenville. The roads are in shams and the area is and will continue to be poverty stricken.

No offense to you when I say this. I have heard that excuse before also. However if a pesron has two dollars in their pocket they are not going to dive to the casino and the person planning to go the casino and spend mega $$$$$$$$$$$ is most likely not going to spend the same amount of dollars on lottery tickets. Wife and I went to La today to see the great grandson. While I was there I picked up one mega lotto ticket. I would not have made a special trip over there to buy one ticket nor would I driver the 2 miles to one of the two casinos here in Natchez to gamble with my two dollars. However I would have went to the local stop and rob store to buy a scratch off or lotto ticket.
