A day-long push to get a comprehensive lottery and gambling push through the Alabama House of Representatives collapsed late Thursday, after an attempt to cut the bill down to a simple lottery by a group of Republicans failed. We ve been working on that bill, and there was a division in the membership on this, and there was not enough votes to pass it, House Speaker Mac McCutcheon, R-Monrovia, said late Thursday. We were looking at any other options on that, including a lottery bill.
The developments led to angry accusations from Democrats, who said Republicans locked them out of meetings and abruptly introduced the lottery bill late in the day on Thursday, and Republicans who said they worked in good faith to try to get something out for voters to approve.

Proposed lottery proceeds would go toward academic scholarships
New information on proposed lottery legislation By Lydia Nusbaum | May 3, 2021 at 8:05 PM CDT - Updated May 3 at 8:05 PM
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - A House committee held a public hearing Monday on a bill that details how a proposed statewide lottery would work in Alabama.
The Ways and Means Education Committee took up the enabling legislation for a proposed lottery. This is not the constitutional amendment that would create a statewide lottery.
Rep. Chris Blackshear, R-Phenix City, who is carrying the legislation, said the bill establishes education lottery scholarship programs.
The bill creates two-year and four-year scholarship programs for eligible students. Under the current House proposal, eligible students would receive $2,500 annually.
