Madison — State Senator Tim Carpenter (D--Milwaukee) today revealed that he has donated to the Wisconsin Election Campaign Fund a lottery ticket for today’s PowerBall lottery drawing, which has an estimated $340 million jackpot. “While the odds of the ticket I donated being a winning ticket are reported to be 1 in 146,107,962 it appears that the chances of the GOP-controlled legislature passing meaningful campaign finance reform is only slightly better,” stated Carpenter.

If the $2 I spent on Lotto tix wins, it will be financing my elections for whatever I run for next!
