The state lottery is beginning to feel the effects of the economic downturn.
As noted before, this scenario creates a quandary for state leaders. Should they feel glad that North Carolinians who can least afford to waste money on the lottery might be more likely now to save that money or use it for other purposes? Or should those state leaders worry about a loss of lottery revenue for state programs?
If they answer “no” to the first question and “yes” to the second, will we see more aggressive sales pitches to lure people into making more sucker bets?
