Ticket machines on display for Oklahoma LotteryReply
The tribes owning casino operations in NM don't allow lottery tickets to be sold anywhere on the Rez. They get the educational benefits from lottery ticket sales without having to put up with some of the gambling dollars going directly to the tribe being filtered off into the lottery. I'd guess the casino tribes are generally opposed to lotteries, same as horserace operations are opposed to tribal casino operations. There are only so many gambling dollars to go around.Jack

Player wins UK Lottery jackpot buying ticket onlineReply

Party leader wants to repeal Okla. LotteryReply
Life itself presents problems that need to be solved; just because you have problems in life doesn't mean that one should stop living as a way to solve the problems in life. I apply the same reasoning to gaming and the lottery; just because there are some problems with people not controlling their playing doesn't mean they should do away with the lottery and gaming all together. Being from Oklahoma, I can say that the revenue generated from gaming has been a godsend for the Native American tri
