... and fellows ... it's really a great big 'ol lake! Lot's of room after blast off! I'm still trying to figure out why I can't dress up a hooker and call her my girl friend?! Other than my wife kill'in me! But yea, it's a sort of gambling. You pay a fee to enter and you have a chance to win something. The legal definition in the State of Tennessee for a lottery is prize, chance and consideration. All three elements, makes it illegal. I deal with it constantly. The fishing Tx's, golf Tx's, tennis Tx's, Church raffles, bingo, {even at Church}, poker run's, rummage sales, the Churches with the "Wild Game Dinner's" with door prize tickets, are pretty much a form of gambling! So what? Most of those mentioned, at times are helping someone that needs help! How many of these are benefits for legal, medical, or even funeral expenses for someone in need? Most of the participants are either just donating their money or consider it an entertainment fee, so to speak. So Mike, what's your problem? Your just some little peckerhead trying to stir up trouble! This summer, why don't you sign up for summer camp at "Camp Quit Your Bitch'in"! Be sure and make up another fake name so nobody will reconize you! How big an 'ol boy are ya anyway?
