Highlights:
The state recently announced that it was not paying out any winnings worth more than $600 until its budget crisis is resolved - but it's still running TV ads promoting the lottery.
An attorney representing some of the winners, Tom Zimmerman, has said there is a staggering $288 million in winnings waiting to be paid out.
Zimmerman, their attorney, said: “If any private business would engage in this kind of conduct selling tickets and not paying out the winner. The state would shut them down and indict them for fraud."
AGREED ! ! !

There's emptiness behind their eyes
There's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all and take us all apart

Once upon a time there was a boxing promoter named Don King. He served time, 2nd degree murder, for stomping an employee to death. But all the bad press I ever read was that he had been a numbers runner in his youth. Back then the illegal numbers game paid 700-1.
The state runs the numbers racket now and it pays 500-1. And advertises on tv.
