JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – A campaign launched in hopes of legalizing sports betting in Missouri has collected more than half of the signatures needed to place an initiative on ballots.
Winning For Missouri Education, a coalition representing Missouri’s six professional sports teams, announced Tuesday that campaign leaders have collected more than 100,000 initiative petition signatures.
