My question is how are lottery shows even really game shows in the end? More importantly, why are some of them even still on TV? I understand in places like California and Indiana (at least what Brian and Chuckles will have us believe), they're draws. But we had one in the New York area (and for the entire state of New York) for a year and change (I'm sure Zach knows how long it ran, and I'm more sure I could give a Chartier), and I just was wondering after a while why this show was on in the first place? The show, of course, was NY Wired, and as far as I can recall no one who won a spot on the show played (the store owner who sold them the ticket did), and if I'm also not mistaken, the potential for prizes wasn't very good (split among however many people were there).
Call me stupid, call me crazy, but I just can't understand why any state lottery would do something like that.
