Proposed Act Would Pave Lottery Road
Senator George Swertelle of Musselshell proposes a constitutional amendment to legalize a state lottery within two years by repealing the lottery ban. He argues funds would replace real estate taxes and provide at least $30 monthly to every aged resident, with a two thirds vote required in both houses and a 1940 general election referendum. Tickets could be sold at state liquor stores and drawings run by a lottery board.
