The Lottery: Who Wins, Who Loses?
The Lottery4.5 billion dollars. With a B. That is how much money Massachusetts residents spent on lottery games last year. So where is it coming from and where is it going? On the eve of the Bay State lottery’s 40th birthday, we discuss why one proponent calls it a "lifeline for communities" and why one critic says that state lotteries are one of government’s "biggest and dirtiest secrets."

Guests:
Geoff Beckwith, Exective Director, Massachusetts Municipal Association
Shannon O’Brien, former State Treasurer
Les Bernal, Executive Director, Stop Predatory Gambling
