American Sweepstakes by Kevin Flynn-P2P
By 1963 public lotteries–a time-honored if tarnished method of raising revenue for everything from the Roman roads to Washington’s Continental Army–had been outlawed in the United States for seventy years.

In New Hampshire–a conservative, rural state with no sales tax and persistent problems with funding education–state legislator Larry Pickett had filed a bill to establish a lottery in every legislative session since 1953. To the surprise of many, it won passage a decade later and was signed into law by John King, the state’s first Democratic governor in forty years.
