Arkansas has no lottery. Yet.
A ballot initiative passed last month calling for the establishment of a state lottery to support education.
In the meantime, Arkansans who want to gamble have to go out of state.
So when we were at Mr. D's across the state line near Cardwell, Mo. recently, I threw a couple of bucks at Powerball.
The drawing was Wednesday night, but I didn't get around to checking my tickets until this morning. No surprise. I didn't win anything, so on the basis of my $2 and everyone else's hopeful ticket purchases, the jackpot goes up to $40 million. That's why they call it the tax on the stupid.
