    There is a reason that lottery employees are prohibited from winning the lottery: to prevent the appearance of impropriety.

    That is why lawmakers who are in charge of lottery issues in Lansing should face the same prohibition from winning. Especially when the drawing to determine the five finalists is non-public.

    Do I believe that Rep. Farrah did anything improper? No, I don't. Might some members of the public be suspicious? Probably.

    That is why I have asked Attorney General Mike Cox to review the non-public drawing that occurred in the lottery building. The public deserves assurances when a coincidence like this occurs.
