Eye on the world: Provision that’s not based on chance
In “Powerball lottery jackpot: It's not a winning ticket for states” The Christian Science Monitor’s Editorial Board remarks on the detrimental effects of lotteries, which many states promote. The editorial notes that “... government should not be in the business of selling the idea that one advances in life by chance” and—referring to the Powerball jackpot that recently hit $1.5 billion—concludes, “The absurdity of offering a $1.5 billion jackpot should be a wake-up call for states to focus less on faith in chance and more on the enduring potential of their citizens.”
