This is an interesting topic for me, as I am fasinated with the old black and white films of gansters such as Al Capone, who I believe one of his 'rackets' was a numbers game, a form of today's lottery. This was one of many stories told by my father who was born in 1929, just around the time Al Capone was convicted and jailed. It is ironic that Al Capone could only be convicted for tax evasion and then only after his associates 'grassed'. Refernce: Al Capone (no date) History [online].
