Last year Jelly Belly decreased the amount that the State Lotto prize increased after a drawing where there was no winner from $250,000, down to $150,000. That's a 40% decrease. Now, starting March 28, the price for buying a line of lottery numbers will go from $1.00 to $2.00, or 100%.

Charge more for less.....only in government!

Easy remedy for that.....keep your money in your pocket and quit throwing it away on a lottery.

Well I figured that since there's no more cash bail, I may have some extra spending money! ;-)

Just making a bad investment even worse. Have yet to buy my first lottery ticket in any state, in 61 years, and not about to start. Not interested. But I don't appreciate corrupt politicians taking advantage of uneducated folks bad at math. They can least afford the hit. Worst part of it for me is waiting in line at a gas station for some overweight lady to buy 20 lotto tickets for family & friends? Happens all the time when I'm in a hurry.

In case some of you have not seen one of Pritzker's other bloated pension cures, here's some shots of a dope peddling enterprise down by Danville during my last scouting trip. The lot was 100% full, with overflow backing up into our hotel lot across the street. Prolly the same folks who buy his lottery tickets.
