I think that Minnesota and Wisconsin have some sort of truth in advertising clause tied to their lottery… Perhaps it has changed over the years, but when they first started they were not allowed to promote the idea of winning. Advertisements were strictly informational this is the game, these are the odds type ads. They countered the dryness of the info with really clever ads that often won awards and were staples on funniest-commercial-shows. I was quite surprised when I moved to California and saw their Selling-the-Dream ads.
