Progress Editorial Page on Arizona Lottery Proposal
The Arizona Sweepstakes Corp proposes a constitutional amendment to create a state lottery with a ten year exclusive right for fifty thousand dollars annually and tax exemptions. Regulators would supervise drawings and prize distribution, with eighty percent of proceeds to the state and forty percent to prizes, leaving ten percent to the promoters.
