| Message | Gambling proceeds from the lottery usually goes towards local/state education. Would you take away such a large percentage of profit from Rildanor's youth? Gambling is a quick way to raise money for any government...and with the current deficit, I'm loathe to do away with it now. |

| Message | Gambling does not give us any money, check the budget. Furthermore, there is no lottery. Currently it is only allowed in private homes and casinos. And you are worried about the profit we make from the youth? We should not make a profit of the youth! They should be able to keep the money, and not see it wash away through such a wasteful activity. |

| Message | Profits from non-existing lotteries. Profits who go.. to youth and education? What about older people who are past their education? And where do you base this on? |
