Roby Brock’s Talk Business announced the results of a new quarterly poll that he’s conducted in conjunction with two political consulting firms here in Little Rock. The first batch of the results focus (surprisingly) on the Arkansas lottery.
49% of Arkansans favor the lottery compared to 40% that don’t. These numbers, substantially different that the results at the ballot box in November, most likely reflect the disasterous publicity start for the lottery commission and its new director. The poll also notes that 81% of Arkansans think the lottery director’s salary is too high.
Looks like Passailaigue pulled it off on the lottery. So far the scratch off tickets have been selling more than a million dollars worth a day and the Powerball starts up on Halloween.
This should help tremendously on the scholarship fund and get a lot more students an invaluable education.
Who would have ever thought a lottery could save the state…
