Is this Gambling?
Texas has a NO Gambling Law. Okay their prerogative! So how come they still allow Bingo and the State Lottery?
Both of these activities are considered as gambling in the UK.
I think it is very hypocritical especially as the Catholics are so against gambling yet they still enjoy paying money to play with numbers to win money or prizes. What do others think?
