Among the worst

Granted, a lottery is a disgraceful scam perpetuated on citizens by the state, at least we can hope that the Indiana lottery is run better than the other ones. Well, too bad. The state ranks 40th (out of 43) for fairness and disclosure in connection with its lottery. Ours is criticized for, among other things, taxing lottery winnings and giving people only 60 days to claim prizes after the close of scratch-off games.

That just comfirms that I need to keep avoiding it. Thanks.

All I would ever want to do is put a little down on the occasional football scenario. Hmm... Something with long odds that would pay big for just a little down. Maybe Redskins over Giants in the NFC final to lose to the Colts in the Super Bowl who oust the Patriots in the AFC. Where do I got to go to place that bet? Odds have to be at least 100 to 1.
