Vintage Lottery Advertising Rug Gambling ephemera of the legal kind.

52” long rug I rolled up and carried out of the market Sunday. State lotteries started in the US in 1964. The piece is a little misleading. 35% to 40% of funds played are lost by consumers. That is the same odds as the “numbers” or “policy racket” run by the mob in the good ol’days! Still, I guess it’s for a better cause. In fiscal 2025, 1.6 BILLION dollars went to fund public schools in Michigan alone. I stood on a ladder to take the pic. This would be called "point of purchase" advertising, but I guess I call it deceptive. Graphic Lottery rug, circa 1970? State unknown, found in Michigan. Collection Jim Linderman / Dull Tool Dim Bulb
