Re: ***Official PL LC/NC Thread for June & July***

Cramer spent 20 minutes kissing up to Preet Bharara yesterday. Bharara represents everything that is bad about how prosecutors are incentivized.

Re: ***Official PL LC/NC Thread for June & July***

Somewhat of a shocker (at least to me):

Online Georgia Lottery sales approved [ajc.com]

This is deserving of its own thread IMO:

Georgia Lottery approves online ticket sales

Quote:
MegaMillions, PowerBall and Fantasy 5 will be the initial offerings. A type of game to mimic the format of a scratch-off will come later, said DeFrancisco.

I think we are going to be seeing many more of these in the next few years if the feds do not take action.

Agreed.

The surprising part to me is that I would have put Georgia at the bottom of the list of states allowing their lotteries to engage in online sales.

It turns out I put way too much thought into this. I only needed 30 for my class, and I could use each individual game as one.

Been lurking a bit, going to start doing the DAP again. Noticed people seem optimistic again, the first time since the bust in February!
