New Hampshire Sweepstakes Plan Gains Approval
A bill to establish a million dollar state sweepstakes based on horse races was approved by the Senate 13-10 and by the House 166-141. Gov. Lane Dwinell signals support and two yearly races at Rockingham Park would be run by the State Racing Commission with $5 tickets and a $25,000 top prize. Critics, including education officials and church groups, warn gambling revenue risks and would push anti gambling coalitions.
