Letter: Boost economy with U.S. lottery

Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2001 | 8:35 a.m.

Looks like we are in for a long, slow economic period.

How about starting a national lottery? States would share the profits proportionally. The more tickets they sell, the bigger their cut. States not wishing to have a lottery can get money their own way. The feds could get their 10 percent off the top.
