refused to pay meReply
also, if a clerk tries to steal a winning ticket, not only would i talk to their boss and press attempted theft charges against the clerk, but i would demand an apology from the company headquarters, and demand the lottery revoke the store's license. if a store is crooked, then they do not deserve a license. states do need to do a better job on background checks. the stores do as well. when i was hired at my old work, they never even checked my references. at least with my RA job, they chec

Does God Hate Gambling...Part 2Reply
Must be a bitter controlling old heartless shrew to have taken such an action against her child.

Campus sales of Tennessee Lottery tickets unlikelyReply
First, let me state that I am a college student in Tennessee who will not be receiving any scholarship funded by lottery profits. As a whole college students don't have that much money. Anyone who has been to college can attest to the fact that books and other necessary fees are extremely high. Personally, it seems like a colleges in Tennessee would be sending a message to students that it's okay to blow what little money you have on the lottery, because it's coming back to you in the form of
