Two Republican legislators say the time has come for a lottery in Alabama. State Representative Alan Harper and State Senator Jim McClendon announced they will be introducing a lottery proposal during the upcoming session. McClendon says, if passed by the Legislature and ratified by voters, it would allow for the creation of a state lottery. According to estimates provided by the Legislative Fiscal Office, the lottery could generate up to $300 million annually in Alabama. The legislation does not make specific recommendations for how the lottery revenue would be allocated.
