Tóm tắt

"Describes how Governor John King assembled an unlikely group of supporters--including a celebrated FBI agent and the staunchly conservative publisher of the state's leading newspaper--to establish the first state lottery in the nation, paving the way for what is today a $78 billion enterprise." --Jacket copy.
