So tired of the repeated Fanduel commercials on TV. Eat shit and die Fanduel!

Harry Brown from Onslow County was one of two Republican senators who did a “step aside” in order to let the North Carolina Lottery be voted into existence. The NC Budget had been approved on Friday, and normally since there would be no other business after the budget vote, the State Legislature usually is called to a close… but not this time. Harry went somewhere to get married over the following weekend. I think it was in South Carolina. And there was another, older Republican senator who had some medical issue. Maybe with his leg. Neither of these senators were available for the State Lottery vote that was held on the following Monday. Yes, they could have voted by proxy, but they didn’t. So, don’t say that the NC Education Lottery didn’t pass without some nifty footwork by some Republicans.

When this happened, I came up with a nickname for Harry Brown, “Step Aside Harry.” I have a cousin that is a staunch Republican and she always defended Harry Brown. So, WRAL has been at the fore supporting the NC Education Lottery, and there have been millions of dollars that have gone to NC schools since the lottery was enacted… but, you need to realize how small a percentage of what is spent by gamblers goes to schools. It’s not easy to tell where it all goes.

And soon NC gamblers will be able to gamble online, and FanDuel is pushing this bigtime.

I just have a personality that has never been drawn to playing the lottery or any other games of chance. The possibility of loss (which is always higher) has always outweighed any possibility of winning for me. I may have put money toward winning a TV or a car, but even those have been rare, and I have never played the NC Education Lottery (I wouldn’t even know how, and don’t want to know how.) or any other state lottery. I almost attended a Kentucky Derby once, when I was going to school in Louisville, KY, but because I couldn’t find parking, I went back home.

The NC Education Lottery is for a bunch of losers. It has to be, or the guys running the lottery would have gone into some other more profitable business. I’m not sure what you can do to make more money as easily as you can from gamblers. “Like taking candy from a baby.” Maybe you could sell illegal drugs, or become a pimp.

So, gamblers that are spending money on lottery tickets, have too much money. They fall into the same category as people who buy those large, long, recreational RVs that need a special tall garage built to park the RV all those months it is unused. Or, those that buy a boat. Yeah, that’s another black hole for your money.
