Another Bingo Bonus–Marriage Proposals!
Playing internet bingo is well known as a great place for single men to meet ladies. Since a large majority of internet bingo players are women the odds are clearly in favor of men. Many a romance has blossomed through internet bingo and lively chat rooms on most bingo websites make it incredibly easy for men to meet and chat with several women. A recent report from the UK where internet bingo is incredible popular tells the story of an online marriage proposal. The happy couple met on a popular UK bingo website and romance took its course between a player known as daddybear1 and chat room host cuckoo2286. Daddybear1 contacted the website manager and asked for permission to make the marriage proposal during a popular game on March 12th.
Daddybear1 obtained permission and the die was cast. Daddybear1 told all his friends so they could join him online and share in the happy moment. Several of his friends logged on to the site to witness the proposal. Daddybear1s proposal read; “I wanted to do this in FreeBingo as this is where I met my partner. Kath Cuckoo Spencer I am asking you if you will do the honours of becoming my wife.” The proposal was nearly thwarted when a full house was called the moment the proposal appeared on the screen. Several roomies were posting excited messages and the proposal disappeared very quickly. The chat monitor Wayne saved the moment and told roomies what had just happened.
The prospective bride kept Daddybear1 in suspense saying, “I need to thinkkk.” A short time later the answer came when cuckoo2286 said; “I thought – and YESSSSSSSSSS.” The future bride said she initially missed the question and others in the chat room encouraged her to say yes. Cuckoo2286 stated, “I did miss the question, just saw someone say “say yes cuckoo lol”, so I did. But it makes no difference, I will say yes.”
There have been other instances of online bingo romances. Mike Hunt, from Norwich met his wife in an internet bingo chat room. Mike tells the story; “We had known each other for months and got on really well. She was divorced and I am a widower so we both enjoyed the company. “Eventually, we exchanged email details and finally got the courage up to send each other pictures. I thought she was beautiful and seven months later we both decided to tie the knot. So far, things have been great and we both still love our bingo together.” In addition to the possibility of romance internet bingo offers entertainment and great prizes and jackpots. Bingo sites are going all out and offer players huge bingo bonuses in addition to other player perks. Players can take advantage of a bingo sign up bonus and can double or even triple their initial deposit. Internet bingo has a lot to offer players and romance is frosting on the cake!
States Without Lotteries (Page 1 of 2)
States Without Lotteries
What 8 States Are Without Lotteries and Why?
Despite the fact that lotteries provide a great source of government revenue for state programs, especially education, and a great amount of fun, there are 8 states that currently do not have state lotteries. The states that currently do not have lotteries are: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Hawaii, Mississippi, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming. It is evident why most of these states continue to resist implementing a state lottery. For example, in Alabama, Mississippi and Utah, there is considerable religious opposition to all gambling. In Nevada, the casino industry opposes the lottery because of the competition it would create. Both Alaska and Hawaii are isolated from other states and therefore need not worry about losing money to nearby states. Lottery supporters in all eight of these states remain hopeful that a state lottery will eventually be put into place. If this happens, these 8 states could not only create their own exciting lotteries, but also participate in multi-state games such as Powerball and Mega Millions.
Alabama
In 1999, a constitutional amendment to allow a State Lottery was defeated in the state of Alabama. Approximately 54% of voters opposed the lottery referendum while 46%, supported it. The total voter turnout was estimated at 50%. There is a strong Christian argument against instating the lottery in the state of Alabama. There has been little talk since 1999 about another state lottery proposal.
Alaska
In 2003 there was a lot of buzz about gambling proposals in the state of Alaska. However, unlike Alabama, Alaska never brought a state lottery proposal to ballot. There has been little talk lately of implementing a state lottery in Alaska.
Arkansas
There is much talk in Arkansas about instating a state lottery. In fact, on April 13th, 2008 Lt. Gov. Bill Halter announced that enough signatures had been collected to put a lottery proposal on the Nov. 4 ballot. The state lottery proposal in Arkansas is described as the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery. The proceeds of the lottery would be used to fund scholarships and grants to citizens of Arkansas who are enrolled in public and private nonprofit colleges and universities located within the State. In 1996 and 2000, Arkansas voters rejected state lotteries whose proposals also included provisions for casinos. It seems the Arkansas citizens will get another chance to vote on an Arkansas state lottery at the end of this year.
Hawaii
Hawaii also does not have a state lottery. Like Alaska, there has been little talk lately in Hawaii about instating a state lottery. There are few arguments for or against a state lottery in Hawaii. Politicians’ main argument against a state lottery centers around the idea that it is unnecessary and is not needed for the education system to thrive.
Mississippi
While Mississippi does have casinos, it does not have a state lottery. In fact, proposals for a state lottery tend to be defeated in Mississippi because they would take away from casino profit. In 1990 a proposal for a state lottery was defeated in Mississippi. Like Alaska and Hawaii, there is little talk lately about the prospect of a state lottery in Mississippi.
