excellent question, though i won't walk into your trap.\n\nyou ain't the hick what u think i will believe u are, but i am not that dum. ha on u.\n\nthere's no lottery in mississippi, so that makes it tough to win.  regarding the sweepstakes, plenty of people there are told they are winning, and that's got the state attorney general hopping mad.  seems canadians and nigerians have figured out how to put one over on them po' folks.

And just how should the lottery be conducted?  If the six billion people in the world today were each given a lottery ticket, then some would say that countries like India and China have an unfair representation because they didn't bother to control their populations, why should they be rewarded for that?  If each country is given the same number of chances, then very tiny countries like Luxemborg or Seychelles Islands would be overrepresented.  And what about countries that are pro-American versus those that hate America?  Why should haters of America be given equal chance of coming in?  The list of possible problems with "fairness" goes on.  Even before the first lottery is held, I would anticipate a lot of argument on how it should be done.

It probably is

Taking on a national lottery does seem a little foolish.\n\nThe payoff is about the same as the US lotteries (55%), but the fact that the that there is always a winner would mean that there are no huge pots to win. These huge pots seem what  brings in the large number of players in the US lotteries.

Well, lets see.....   Money wagered at bookies is a little difficult for Uncle Sam to tax.  \n30 years ago, "running" numbers was rampant, but, illegal.  It was illegal because Uncle Sam couldn't get his cut.\nThen Lotteries, Bingo Cards, Pickle Cards, and Powerball came along, and all of a sudden that nasty, evil, corrupt method of separating people from their money became quite acceptable to Uncle Sam, and of course, the tax dollars gleaned from it by the government may have played a "small" role in helping it gain public acceptance.  \nPlease remember:  It's all about money, money, money.  Legal or illegal, its always about money.  I always wondered, if "money is the root of all evil.  Then why are churches always begging for it?".

Yes, and in Mississippi none the less.\n\nCrazy, huh?  Have you?

Basically, a bunch of people are locked underground in a place where they don't know the day or the time. They are forced to live with other people. Everyday, they vote for who they think should get the money. However, the vote must be Unanimous, meaning everybody has to agree on who deserves the money. Additionally, they vote for an outkast which still remains in the game (meaing they still vote) but they are not eligible to win the money. Every second they don't come to a decision, the money ticks away dollar by dollar. If someone leaves the game because they can't take it, the money is cut in half.

Hey, i'm from Jackson ,Tn. I think only surrounding states that are close to memphis like mississippi and arkansas might do it, like olive branch, or west memphis

Why would you have to send them money for them to send you money. They way the lottery works is you give them money in advance if you are chosen then they give you money. It's nothing like you've but we need more money from you. This is definitely a scam please do not send these people or anyone you do not know money.

to be fair they will have to let Emmitt win since the last one that won was white..so now a black has to win....next time it will be a woman....politics rules everything even though Mario is better.\n\nI think the super bowls are rigged too and the lottery

It's not exactly because they live in mobile homes.  But a stereotype of the typical person who lives in a mobile home.\n\nIs that fair?  no.\nBut I guess stereotypes rarely are.

Because the likes of Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson are poverty pimps that get rich by telling blacks that its all the white mans fault that they are poor.  \n\nThe bottom line, its easy to fail... its tough to succeed.

No-- Arizona has a stupid proposition on the ballot which would give unclaimed lottery money to random people who vote in each election.\n\nYou should vote becuase it is your civic duty, not for lottery money.  Giving rewards to vote would only encourage people to randomly vote for things and candidate.  It would not encourage people to take the effort to learn about the candidates or the propositions.\n\nYou have a right to vote-- but frankly, I want people with a clue to cast votes, not people who blindly pick stuff off a ballot.

as long as people are lazy to earn a buck, lacking confidence in themself they go in search of lottery or any spam as you say. they should first belive in themselves and have self esteem and self respect. they should believe in hard earned money and should be satisfied by what they are able to produce. i remember an incident in china. i was talking to a taxiwala and asked him "is it not bothering you that you have no freedom of speech in ur country". he said,"whats there to speak, i work for my living and with what i get i live my life, whats there to talk". i was shocked."then i asked ok see there goes a mercedes and that man is richer than you why are poor.". he said, he deserves what he is worth, he's intelligent and is ready to work harder than me, so he's rich. what i earn is enough for me so i am still a driver". what do think we in india would have reacted to such differrance.

Honestly, we still have paper ballots in my town, and i wrote in "None of the above" for almost everything.  Oh, and i wrote my brother in for Sheriff.  My friends and i write my brother's name in for sheriff all the time.  He actually only lost by 3 votes one year.  It is funny becuase no one ever opposes the Sheriff, he has been in power for 18 years or so.  So most people just don't even vote for him.  This year i have 5 more people convinced to write in my brother's name, so hopefully he will win!
