Of course, with gas prices the way they were, someone should just create a lottery for free gasoline and make a bundle off those willing to jump in the raffle bandwagon.

Zero chance lottery tickets
This was an interesting article about lottery tickets and how they may be sold even after the grand prize has been won. According to the executive director of the Virginia State Lottery, "there were times when there was a scratch game out there that might've said "zero" in terms of the number of top prizes, but our players knew that." That seems sort of deceitful. It makes me wonder how many Delawareans have been duped by this same sort of shenanigans. This may be one of those cases of "buyer beware" since nobody is forcing you to buy a lottery ticket, but given the target market of lottery tickets, it seems more like a scam than a golden ticket to a better life.
