In actuality,  nobody won a $7 Million jackpot.   Oregon lied.  The gamblers  won a $3.5 million dollar jackpot,  and paid taxes on it,  leaving them with   a $2.3 million jackpot,   the State and Feds having shared  in the winnings.   So what is there about the Legislature and the elected officials that we should believe,  what are the hidden codes and codicils,  traps and lies?  

I once worked for a man who asked me to essentially steal something for the company.  I told him that was his job.  If I am stealing,  taking the risk of jail and poverty,  I am doing that for ME.  And,  when you tell your employees that it is fine to steal for the company,  you have given them permission to steal FROM the company.  The State steals from the people,  and I have to assume that the people are stealing as much as they can from the State.  Sort of like how the REAL tax rates in Europe never get higher than 50%.  People just find ways to evade and cheat.   Is that the Oregon Experience?
