All 352 Massachusetts cities and towns receive lottery profits in the form of unrestricted local aid.

seems like a trap that’ll have people thinking a ticket that costly must have a prize in the hundreds, at least. most of them are probably $20-40 payouts.

actually, it says all winning tickets will be $100 or more. that means some of these won’t even be winners.

this is a honeypot for gambling addicts.

Its easier to take a train ride from NY to LA and put a nickel in a randomly placed bucket along the train tracks without looking....then it is to win the lottery. The odds are never in your favor.

Gambling addiction is going to explode in the US. Sports betting is being pushed heavily on TV and the lottery by the government.
