Florida Lottery Rejects Spaceflight Prize
Sunday December 14, 2003
It looks like lottery players in Florida don't want to fly high, just live that way. Lotery officials in Florida decided this week not to offer a spaceflight on a Soyuz rocket as a prize.
According to CNN, "The idea of winning a ride on a Soyuz spacecraft to the international space station just didn't appeal to lottery players, Bob Nave, chief of staff of the Florida Lottery, said Friday. 'It was an intriguing enough concept to present to our focus groups ... but people like to win cash.'"
