Innovative at pushing people into even deeper levels of debt

Margaret DeFrancisco, Georgia Lottery Corp. president and CEO, was selected to be the next president of the North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries (NASPL) this week. She will serve a one-year term in addition to her current role at the Georgia Lottery.

“We are at a crossroads in the industry with lotteries around the country and the world facing the growing challenges to increase profits for beneficiary programs,” DeFrancisco said. “To ensure future growth and success as an industry, we must collaborate and progress with innovative ideas and forward thinking.”

Forward thinking? Innovative ideas? Instead of encouraging citizens to save money so they can build the capital they need to become financially secure, lottery officials like DeFrancisco aim to get people to lose their money on virtually worthless scratch tickets and push them deeper into debt.
