Last fall Arkansas finally got it going on regarding the lottery! It has been year after year that this issue has been attempted, but always got knocked out. To date, Arkansans can now play: Mega Millions, Power Ball, Pick 3 (one of my favorites!), and scratch offs. I don't know why it took so long, we've had horse racing for eons. I've been to Nevada a couple of times, but never Las Vegas. Someday I will. Now if only this state would allow casinos, hoping for it! Right now, I occasionally will go to Tunica, Mississippi to play slot machines.
In the photos above, one of our foster kittens, Athena, is attempting to cast a cat spell on my tickets. I promised her lots of toys and catnip for winning tickets! I usually get tickets and check them every week or so. Pick 3 has been my luckiest game so far. I've won twice on that. Pick 3 started in December for us. Now, I am waiting for an actual "Arkansas" lottery. My take on it is this is pretty much a rural state, still got the Bible Belt in force, not a big population in the state. That means that the odds will be pretty good for us degenerates that want to buy tickets. I think the next game on the agenda is Pick 4. We just got Mega Millions this month. Eventually, we will get the state lottery as well. No target date for that yet.
Athena, bring me luck!!
Cheryl, your cat is looking at you like, "you better buy me all the cat food I ask for if you win this lottery, not just toys and catnip. I want fancy feast!"
ReplyDeleteYou gave good reasons as to why you think it hasn't happened 'til recently but is there a specific reason given by the state?
Anyway, great post and make sure you keep Athena happy, her mojo might work out. Take care.
Hi Cheryl, they will have to give in soon. Oklahoma finally has the lottery after years and years of the bible belt idiots keeping it from passing, I think we have had it now for about 4 or 5 years. i don't play much, but i buy when the powerball is big, and it would give me plenty of money to do nothing but splurge. good luck!
