Lottery Study a Reminder of Lottery’s Poor Performance

Arkansas Lottery

Arkansas News ran a story today about legislators considering possible changes to the lottery scholarships.

The article noted that

  • Legislators have already been forced to reduce scholarship awards once in the past two years.
