Between 1986 and 2005, nearly every state in the Southeast grappled
with one or more proposals for a state-run lottery. The political
battles and marketing campaigns leading up to the decisions
generated considerable public debate and media attention.
Pro-lottery and anti-lottery groups executed costly and
labor-intensive campaigns aimed at generating the involvement of
the media, politicians, and voters. Using a variety of case
studies, Lottery Wars examines those debates and campaigns from
both theoretical and practical perspectives. Using thousands of
media articles and government documents, in addition to dozens of
interviews with politicians, religious leaders, and journalists who
covered the campaigns, Bobbitt brings up-to-date the research on
state lotteries in the Southeast United States. Accessible and
journalistic in style, Lottery Wars is an ideal supplement to any
political communication course.
