Alabama Lottery bill falls short by one voteNews Story
Alabama lawmakers sick of indecision following years of debate By Kate Northrop A bill to authorize a state lottery and casinos in Alabama failed by just one vote, the closest the state has ever come to enacting a state lottery since 1999. One vote made the difference in the Alabama legislative session, resulting in voters just barely missing out on seeing a lottery question on the ballot this year. The last time Alabama residents saw a lottery proposal in the voting booth was in

Texas Legislature proposes bill to block online lottery courier servicesReply
I would assume that if the legislation were to pass and get signed into law that every lottery company, including TheLotter, would be prohibited from doing business in the state. Hopefully that does not happen, for Texans sake.

Florida Fantasy-5 PlayersReply
If I'm going to criticize the additional midday drawing, then I should offer what I think would be an improvement to the game. Before I do that, I have one more criticism that I'd like to share. Ticket sales of FF5 are not what they once were (prior to adding the midday draw) so adding the midday was The Florida Lottery's response to try to attract more player interest in the game. I agree that ticket sales are down, I can remember jackpots in 2020 and 2021 being in the $230,000 to $235,000

Nota Bene: On this day in 1931, President Herbert Hoover signed into law legislation making The Star-Spangled Banner the nation s official national anthem.

Correct you are. The rich are legally sheltering their money. The Federal government wrote the tax code and wealthy people's tax attorneys are simply telling them how to legally exploit the tax code to their advantage. Ever heard of The Carried Interest Loophole ? It's a terrific method for wealthy people employed in the Private Equity industry to cut their tax burden in half, and best of all it's perfectly legal. But carry as the PE Boy's all call it isn't available to the average tax payin

California too needs to revamp its laws, as many states have already done, and allow winners to claim anonymously/trust. Bet there are lots of laws in your state law codes that are not in other states and vise versa. Just saying. Have you tried contacting the California Legislation?
