In the interest of making money from other people’s tragedy I have decided to begin a new lottery game. It will be Winners from Losers. To win, a player must correctly guess these five things:

Location (city and state)
Method or tool used
Number of dead
Number of injured
Name of the first federal politician to call for stricter legislation due to the tragedy

Each player pays $1 for each entry. First correct entry wins 70% of the take. The rest of the money goes to administrative costs with any excess divided among the states where the game is legal. I predict big things for this game. I believe the nation is ready.

I believe Jonathan Swift would be proud.
