Is it not their "constitutional" right to be stoopid? We do alcohol and tobacco. Lotto should be a choice left to the people - not blocked from the ballot because politicians want to control how the stoopid spend.

Besides, the money discarded on lottery tickets cannot be used to buy smokes and Mad Dog 20-20.
