History
It was Alyce Clarke who introduced a bill to create a state lottery in Mississippi in 2004 but met with strong opposition from Republican Governor Haley Barbour and the leaders of both the Houses of Legislature, so much so that the Mississippi Baptist Convention did not feel the need to mobilize its own opposition. Later after several petitions, Mississippi State Lottery got authorized on August 28, 2018, and is governed by Mississippi Lottery Corporation.
