Idaho dropping Powerball fearing Australia will use Powerball revenue for anti-gun

[louisvillekid]

This is hilarious.

Idaho lawmakers worried their state will lose sovereignty over what they can do with their own share of Powerball generated revenue.

All because Australia and England are set to join Powerball in coming years.

So much to break down in how delusional some of the lawmakers are.

Well, that's certainly an argument, but also the laws that government uses for gambling in the US & projected revenue are so antiquated.

Idaho probably looking at reduced win % thou I don't believe the # of players impacts the odds to be honest.

In reality, so many other, higher revenue options for states now, surprised more haven't opted out of this to direct players $$$ towards higher margin games.
