Why I no longer trust our State Government
When leaving the grocery store today I stopped to invest $1. at the Oregon Lottery kiosk and discovered a new screen on the monitor.
There we have it, our State of Oregon Lottery has decided to join in the Mega Millions rip-off contest as PowerBall and Megabucks isn't bringing in enough income from the populace that is given to gamble. State run Video Poker and Slots don't make it any more.
What caught me was how the new screen has been configured to trick the unfamiliar ticket buyer into believing the minimum purchase is now $2. and that will give you a shot at both the Megabucks and Mega Millions.
Closer examination reveals the buyer does have a choice to buy a single $1. ticket. However it does take some study which I assume the average sucker will not take the time to discover.
Them Greedy Bastards are doing it again. For the kids . . . right?
