Lottery poll favors Alabama style lottery plan
The author recalls an instant television poll showing 67 percent of viewers in favor of Alabama adopting a state lottery despite opposition. Florida and Illinois examples are cited, with revenue estimates of 200 to 300 million yearly, and noting legislative resistance amid pari mutuel lobbying and possible federal revenue-sharing changes. The piece questions what could sway lawmakers and ends with a wish for Alabama to have a lottery before a trip to Opp for playing.
