Alabama, being one of
the six states in U.S among the non-lottery territories. A Bill
to establish state lottery has been approved by a committee in the Alabama
House of Representatives on 10th February 2016 (Wednesday).
Now it’s up to voters to
decide if they would be in favour of lottery. Lawmakers are to decide what kind of lottery would take place and where
the money would go.
Advocators of the bills
said the existence of lottery could provide needed revenue for the state and
let the people of Alabama decide by voting.
R. Jacksonville, a
committee member who voted for the bill. "It's just that everywhere I go
in my district, people are asking me why we can't have a vote on
this."
It hasn't been clarified
when the voting would take place, though it is rumored to take place in
November.
There are number of
opponents who are boycotting the lottery bill, saying this bill could lead to
hike in Medicaid cost.
After Hawaii, Alabama is
all set to embrace the lottery (until it’s legalized). An introduction of scam-free lottery could be
a decent initiative and it would also bring in the employment opportunity to
the state.
