[quote:TyronJones:MV8yMTIwMTA2XzM1NzYxNTM2X0MxMUQ4NEI2] I live in NC and let me tell you this is not going to fly. First and most of all, it is a racist attempt to tighten the chains around our neck. Tell me, I cant do something, aint gonna be some, "yessir master" Besides how will they know we are spending our money on tickets? We dont use EBT to purchase. So tell me, how will they know how I spend my monthly check? [/quote]

“We’re giving them welfare to help them live, and yet by selling them a ticket, we’re taking away their money that is there to provide them the barest of necessities,” Stam said.
I wonder how they would know who's on welfare? If I come in to the store to buy lottery tickets with cash there's no way to know if I am on welfare.
I don't think anyone getting public assistance should be gambling. Or, do some think a dollar and a dream should be for everyone?
