Well let’s bet this bs will pass and anything to do with cannabis will not. Money over medical care? Surely not because we all know legalizing cannabis would create revenue….smh

What about the bill to let people buy lottery tickets with a credit or debit card? I hope they don’t allow this unless and until SCEL’s practices are investigated from top to bottom.

SCEL Cash5 winners of substantial prizes ($100K+) are way fewer now than they were in 2006, 2007, 2008. Any game of chance will necessarily be weighted in favor of the house, but players have to know there is a reasonable chance of them winning a worthwhile prize or they will not play.

There is no question that SCEL odds of winning a substantial prize have been rigged against the player since those years noted above on Cash5. Back then, 2 $100K+ winners a week were not uncommon. Today, you might not see that many in a year.
