lotto and lottery...........

And quite possibly, opening up the door to athletes and referees "throwing games" to get paid off by Vegas and on-line betting corporations?????........
It has already happened, even before the on-line betting was legal, and was covered up by the Major League.......

Even if these Players and Ref's don't "throw" the game, they can shave points to control the score..........

A zillion years ago when I was growing up, we all knew that prize fighting was rigged...........but for the last 20+30 years I have been seeing professional sports becoming more suspect also........The more money involved, the worse it gets.......
