Analysts say online gambling law a bad ideaReply
We may be worried about nothing. Much like a search warrant, legislation has to be very specific to be effective. In other words, there was NO INTERNET at the time the law was written and, as far as I can tell, on-line wagering on lottery numbers is not mentioned in this specific piece of legislation.

Why so much greed?Reply
Yes, I'm the guy who set up the computerized drawings petition, and we all need to rally around two things:Hold the line: No more states fall victim to computerized drawings. In addition, for all new lotteries, like Oklahoma and North Caolina, we must ensure that they go with real lottery drawings from day 1. I am happy to say that since day 1 of the petition, not one state has converted to computerized drawings. We must all be vigilant, and not let this ever happen!Roll them back: Get states
