How did that work out?

When the lottery (numbers game) was illegal, did people not play? Legalized gambling has not only enhanced state revenue, but it’s taken away revenue from criminal enterprises.

The number of compulsive gamblers is very small, and having known a few at my old workplace, I can tell you, these people will bet on anything, legally or otherwise. There’s nothing you or I can do to change that.
