The Alabama Senate has passed a simplified lottery bill by a vote of 21-12 mere days after a separate bill failed to convince over concerns surrounding the installation of video lottery terminals in racetracks around the state.

Americans might be stringent on their gambling laws, but statistics don’t lie, most of them like the idea of winning life changing money for doing nothing much in return.

In 2014, the North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries dragged in $70.1 billion in sales. Not only does that make the lottery the most popular form of gambling in the US, but it’s also more than Americans spend on the combination of sports/books/games/movies/music.

But not every state has caught a whiff of the green. Utah, Alaska, and Hawaii don’t have a state lottery. Surprisingly, neither does the burgeoning casino states of Mississippi or Nevada. The final state that is lottery-less is Alabama, but moves are afoot to change all of that.
