In a way, this is somewhat comical, although it is serious. On the very first day they were doing things illegally. They aren't allowed to sell to anyone under 18, yet they were doing it. They are also not allowed to give any cash winnings to anyone under 18, yet they did. If they were following the law, none of this would have happened.

To top it all off, each store that seels lottery tickets are suppose to keep a minimum of $600.00 on hand in case they get a big winner. Now, these stores are refusing to keep that much money on hand, for fear they may be robbed. Duh? Didn't they think of that before they volunteered to participate?

Again, this whole lottery thing is a big joke. I had a co-worker tell me yesterday that she used her gas money to buy lottery tickets, and of course she lost. Late yesterday afternoon, she was trying to borrow money to get some gas for her car. Oh, that's right. Most of you said that people are smarter than to do something like that. Wrong.

If you really think this lottery thing is a success, then you need to pull your head out of your butt and come back to reality.
