The Arkansas Lottery plans to roll out 100 lottery ticket vending machines across the state. South Carolina and other states have banned the machines because they increase underage gambling and encourage gambling addicts to buy tickets more secretly.
Last week, I told you about our effort to help gather comments from Arkansans regarding the Lottery Commission’s move to roll out lottery ticket vending machines across Arkansas.
Family Council Director Jerry Cox announced this week that the organization will be engaging in the Arkansas Lottery Commission’s public comment period on lottery ticket vending machines.
