I won't hold my breath expecting any kind of tax refund or reduction. I do expect the educational tax pigs to be at the trough looking to Gorge themselves on such an exorbitant profit. School vouchers now!!! The Lottery Commission has lied to us and continues to lie to us. Its taxation without representation and it is becoming the new norm. I still cannot wait to depart Maryland with its Rhino governor and sickening disgusting inept representation we have in Washington and Annapolis. The exception being a few selected shore representatives minus of course the libtards mr. Useful idiot Mathis.

While the lottery and gambling continue to rake in record profits! education continues to fail suffer but they still ask for more money? what the hell are you people doing up there. School vouchers Statewide could solve this problem being able to direct your tax funding to protect our schools.

Last time I looked, "revenue" does not mean "profit" - just another twisted "statistic".
