WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2002 The Oklahoma lawmaker who wanted to introduce a blood quantum bill to get rid of "wannabees" argues against a state lottery in an opinion piece in The Daily Oklahoman. State Rep. Wayne Pettigrew says approval of a state lottery will only make Indians richer and not the state. "If each lottery ticket costs $1, which ticket will you buy: the state lottery ticket that features a pot worth $10 million or the tribal lottery that features a pot worth $100 million?" he writes. Pettigrew is responding to gubernatorial candidates who support a state lottery. Get the Story:
