State House Speaker Jim Black (D) is in the midst of a controversy over his role and that of a top aide who turned out to be working for a firm hoping to land the contract to run the lottery. Black has been compiling boxes of documents that have been subpoenaed by a federal grand jury examining how the lottery won approval.
Black curtly brushed off Republican calls for his resignation and emphasized that the grand jury has not charged anyone. "Why should I step down?" he asked in an interview. "I've not been accused of anything. I'm still doing a good job. . . . Everywhere I go, I'm facing larger crowds than I ever have and they're as supportive as ever."

Unless you croak.
From what I’ve been reading about side effects maybe they should offer chances on a complimentary heart defibrillator.
Does anyone believe for a moment that the state of North Carolina would risk having someone who was dead or dying from an adverse reaction to the experimental treatment be selected as one of the grand prize winners?
What a lottery - you have a better chance of dying from a reaction to experimental treatment you need to take to enter the lottery, than your chance to win the grand prize.
The excited, gushing style of this writing disgusts me. It’s the media in the willing service of the political establishment, all the while slanting the truth.
When they resort to bribery to sell a product, I question if the product really is worth anything.
That million dollar prize should pay for a really really nice funeral. If Roy Cooper is for it this Tarheel is strongly against it. The side effects are starting to filter in and we have not seen the full force of the consequences of the injections (not jabs, you jack wagons). The side effects will be denied, covered up, obfuscated and flat out lied about when they come. Take your shot and shut up. I, for one, will wait.
