Lottery Comes to Arkansas

Last November voters in Arkansas approved the sale of lottery tickets in this state. Last Monday they went on sale for the first time. 2.5 million dollars were spent on lottery tickets in the first two days alone. Like it or not, it is here. My heart is saddened by the fact that our state felt the necessity to go down this road. It will produce more losers than winners and will perpetuate the fantasy of "striking it rich." It violates almost every financial principle found in God's word and is a bad deal for our state.
