The Arkansas Lottery has a habit of pulling the plug on scratch-off tickets before all the winning tickets are sold or redeemed.
As a result, the state-run lottery has the potential to avoid paying millions of dollars in prizes.

The Feminist Union at the University of Central Arkansas in Conway announced today that an organizer for Planned Parenthood Great Plains will speak at the group’s general meeting this week.
Planned Parenthood Great Plains is Planned Parenthood’s affiliate for Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Kansas.
As we reported in January, the UCA Feminist Union was among the student groups that supported a recent pro-abortion rally in Little Rock.
Planned Parenthood is actively promoting its agenda in Arkansas.
Last fall the organization posted a job opening for a Sexual Health Education intern to assist “with the development and implementation of sexual health education programs for students” in Little Rock and the surrounding area.
Planned Parenthood’s political action committee in Arkansas also has endorsed candidates in the March 3 primaries and appears to be actively fundraising ahead of the November elections.
Planned Parenthood is the nation’s leading abortionist. An estimated one in three abortions occurs in a Planned Parenthood facility. There’s simply no reason to let abortion groups promote their work on college campuses.

Last week Arkansas Lottery Director Bishop Woosley issued a public statement opposing efforts to bring casino-style gambling machines to Arkansas.
Woosley’s statement was part of a press conference by Protect Arkansas Communities, a group that opposes Arcade Arkansas’ slot machine measure.
Arcade Arkansas spent over $78,000 last month alone on its petition drive.
The group has until July 3 to gather nearly 90,000 valid petition signatures in order to place their proposed constitutional amendment on the November ballot.
If passed, Arcade Arkansas’ measure would amend the state constitution to allow thousands of casino-style gambling machines all over Arkansas under the auspices of the state lottery.
This measure could potentially turn gas stations and convenience stores into miniature casinos offering gambling 24 hours a day.
