I need real answers!! Can you start your own lottery???

Actually the new gambling law that Bill Frist shoved into the anti-terror bill legalizes online lotteries. So you could probably start one of those.

As for real lotteries, it seems unlikely. You'd need sophisticated anti-fraud machines, locations, supplies, legal permission, and more. It's probably illegal in most states too without being officially sanctioned by the state.

So you are left with starting a web site and convincing people to give you money to buy a lottery ticket online. It doesn't seem all that likely that you could start such a web site and make a success of it in time to pay out any kind of meaningful prize.

Probably, there are better business ideas out there.

Why not design lottery tickets in a way so that they can become true collectible as losing tickets? Beautiful pictures, topical, educational, artistic, historical, geographical, scientific, cultural designs. All modern scratch offs are UGLY with SCREAMING texts. That way people not only collect the losing tickets as collectibles but also educate themselves instead of being dumbdown.

CAN you start one yes,but it is highly illegal and it is refered to as a NUMBERS RACKET, so your competion is the MOB! still interested-ok get flash paper from a magic store (so when you are approached by cops you touch it off with your cigerette-poof no evidence!) then you find a VERY publicized number like the NYSE closing (most numbers houses use these numbers because the customers know they can't be manipulated by the crooks you are dealing with and they are in every paper and the poor uneducated people playing the numbers actually feel a little connection to the stock market and some even call it playing the stock market-thats about all i know

Funny
