My mind kept nudging me today. Kept telling me get your butt in the Beast and get a Powerball ticket. Think it is the never ending cold and snow in KY dulling my senses.

Then thought, you fool, you have plenty of on-line money so play Powerball/PP/DP there and I DID

Point well taken.

Don't forget Indiana has twelve casinos. The law was changed so that riverboats were no longer required. Best of my knowledge each patron 'pays' the state $5 to gamble on them.

A bill to allow online lottery sales in Indiana died before it even had the chance to make it to the House floor for consideration, snuffing out hopes for a digital platform yet again.
