That's what the current lottery employees said in their plan submitted to the state yesterday. The extra revenue, they say, comes from expanding the system to include Keno and online instant games -- another potential hazard, that we didn't address here -- so all the state has to do is expand it in the confines of the current management system and they predict higher revenues. Either way, it becomes a discussion about whether expanding gambling and making it even more accessible is in the best interest of the citizenry, not just state coffers.
