Versus unemployment outside the reservation. It the tribal nations should be forced to turn over additional revenues to state, should they be entitled to a cut of lottery revenues?

CA State originally touted the lottery revenues as "helping the schools." The only ones who were helped were the Ad men who got a major portion of the Lottery budget for commercials, the politically-appointed Lottery officials and workers who garner huge salaries and maybe a few programs that were never impacted by what was left over. The state barely shares the lottery revenue with non-Indian citizens, why would they share it with the Indians?

The lottery--CA and otherwise--was another scam. Since I am not mathematically-challenged and don't believe in the magic of "luck," I don't waste my money on it.
