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.
