Registered sex offenders could try their luck at the Missouri Lottery but they wouldn't be able to score a prize under legislation proposed by a Marshfield lawmaker. Republican Sen. Dan Clemens introduced legislation that would prevent registered sex offenders from winning money in the Missouri Lottery. The proposal comes about one month after a registered sex offender scored the $14 million jackpot in Florida.
