text: Good one Charles.  Lottery may solve some problems.  It needs a rule that anyone on any form of public assistance or a person who is homeless cannot win the lottery.  Period.  Even if they enter they cannot win or use a straw man to collect.  Why give people tax money to supposedly live on and let them bet it.  Can't you just see Joe Blow address Ala Moan Park the next millionaire if rules are not set in place to prevent it?  To placate the people who say lottery only hurts the poor and less fortunate among us, this should stop that.  Oh I forgot, the aclu will claim discrimination based on race...economic station and whatever else they can throw in.
