Lottery Turf War

I have to admire a 77 year old woman who has run a private lottery for as many years, if not longer, than Michigan has been in the gambling business.  Not only that, her private lottery business paid off better than so called legalized gambling.

“Officials say Heloise Johnson, 77, of Oak Park was the “matriarch” of the private lottery, running it with her daughter and three adult grandchildren.”

It’s a shame the state had to get their hands on the operation.

“Authorities break up private lottery, seize $2.2 million.”
