Oregon Lottery, where the motto is “Sit Tight and Spend it All!”

Times are tough. Everyone is getting more creative about money. But it’s hard to beat the clever strategy hatched by the State of Oregon, which is launching online gambling.

Yup, that’s right.

The Oregon Lottery will soon offer cash prizes and other goodies through its website. Because everyone knows that the best thing to do in a terrible economy is get more people to gamble away the few bucks they have left.

Rumor has it that they’re also partnering with various liquor distributors to create at-home delivery of spirits, so online gamers do not need to leave the house for refreshments.

Oh, wait, I made that up. The state would never do something that irresponsible.
