LITTLE MEN SHOULD STOP PLAYING LOTTERY

I NOTICED in your paper March 10 that the $27 million Lotto prize is going to Australia.

The Lotto players of Virginia (little men) should stop buying tickets! They are the ones who build the jackpot; then the "big boys" step in and collect the big pots.

If people stop buying, I would think that in a short time, a limit of, say, $5,000 would be put into law. JACK B. WOODSON SR. ROANOKE
