U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) continued his annual Festivus tradition this year — and gave Massachusetts a shoutout in the process.
Each year, Paul pays tribute to the fictitious December 23 holiday from the TV show Seinfeld with his own "Airing of Grievances." On the Seinfeld episode called "The Strike," it occurs right after dinner and presents an opportunity for people to complain to their friends and family to their faces.
When it comes to Christmas presents, it's possible that the Massachusetts State Lottery makes them — but that doesn't make giving the Lottery's product to friends and family is a good idea.
During the 2019 fiscal year, Bay Staters spent more than $5.5 billion on the lottery. Research from Investopedia found that residents of Massachusetts spend more per person ($860.70) on the lottery than any other state.
