Click, I have no problem with your lottery if you would support Powerball, etc for Alaska.  

44 states currently participate in Powerball with many of those states using the revenues to fund education and reducing state retirement obligations.  Both of these are high ticket items for Alaska.

I do find your expectations overly generous.  Powerball rarely reaches $500 million and that is from the combined sales from 44 states and millions of ticket purchases.  You could easily compare revenues generated for participating small population states.  Representative Thompson is looking at Wyoming currently.

Your plan is a once a year purchase lottery which wouldn't generate sales from tourists like Powerball would do.

So you CHOOSE to support POWERBALL in Alaska and I'll support your CLICK.
