Governor Bought-And-Paid-For is outsourcing the Pennsylvania Lottery to Camelot Global Services.
The question of course is "why?" The lottery makes money hand over fist, and when being run by the state, there is no profit motive. Once overhead costs are paid, all the proceeds goes towards programs benefitting the commonwealth's seniors. That's amounted to nearly 20 billion dollars over 40 years, or a rough average of 500 million dollars a year. Why would any sane person give up a cash cow like that? There's only one compelling reason in my mind. Corbett wants to smash a union.
I'd like to know what Camalot's "vig" for running the lottery is?
