North Carolina Rep. Wants To Ban People On Welfare From Playing The Lottery
If you’re living on welfare in North Carolina, you may soon be out of luck when it comes to the lottery. Raleigh-Durham’s ABC affiliate WTVD-TV is reporting that lawmakers in that state are proposing legislation that would bar people on welfare or in bankruptcy from purchasing lottery tickets.

As reporter Anna Laurel explains, “the lawmaker drafting this legislation told us today that the vendor selling the lottery ticket would be penalized if they know the person is on welfare or in bankruptcy, which has some questioning if this law really solves any problems.”

The Republican congressman behind the bill, Rep. Paul Stam laid out his reasoning by saying, “We’re giving them welfare to help them live, and yet by selling them a ticket, we’re taking away their money that is there to provide them the barest of necessities.”

But as the Raleigh news team discovered, local lottery vendors have serious concerns. One clerk was quoted as saying, “I don’t feel comfortable to ask my customers what their financial status is… it’s not my business.”

Meanwhile, North Carolina’s NAACP president Rev. William Barber said that while his organization doesn’t “agree with the lottery to start with” he would prefer to have Rep. Stam focus on larger issues “Rather than Mr. Stam having a side argument, ask him to stop blocking labor rights for poor people and working people. Ask him to have a real conversation about real wage.”

Watch video below, via WTVD-TV:

This won't create "more money", since its utterly unenforceable.

Not here, you win a good chunk it has to be paid by check directly from lottery headquarters... Run a check on the name and if it comes back the person is on welfare all they have to do is seize it to pay for past and current benefits.

I never understood how welfare people get cash.


The government doesn't give them cash, do they?

No, but the benefits they are given is to prevent them from having to use their cash...

If you have 100 dollars and an ebt card with 300 dollars on it, what are you going to use to buy food?

Of course.


I thought they might withdrawl cash with their EBT cards while purchasing groceries.

There was a neighbor of mine back in College that constantly tried to sell his food stamps for cash.

Oh hell I bet they can buy actual lottery tickets with them and ring it up as food at some places....

Nothing is ever going to stop fraudsters because they always find a way

How will the lotto survive and make any money if the poor are not allowed to play?

That is true... The jackpots will be much smaller thats for damn sure....

I don't like anything that preys on the poor... The Lottery, Check Cashing Stores, places that rent tvs and stuff , payday loans etc. These businesses are parasites that feed off of poor people in my mind...

How bout the Western Sky commercial trying to get you to borrow 10k .... If my math is right reading the small print you will pay back 63k for that loan if you carry it to terms.

Heh, I hear that commercial on Sirius ESPN all of the time.


What do you think about the new "Cocksox" commercial?

Rental stores don't just prey off of the poor. They prey off of the uneducated idiots that can't do simple math.



The poor just happen to make up most of that demographic.
