PAT

Football Term
Point After Touchdown. One point if the ball is place kicked through the uprights, two if the ball is rushed or thrown and received in the end zone. The PAT begins on the two yard line.

I thought the TD would get us into overtime but Keith Toogood missed the PAT.

lottery

An idea stolen by the government from the people who ran them illegally. Many states send a percentage of lottery revenue to the public school system.

People are going to play the lottery whether is it legal on not, so why not let the government control it?
In Texas, 30% of revenue is reserved for public schools while only 7% goes to the lottery commission.
