The Numbers Racket: One Woman's Story of the Illegal Street Lottery in Detroit
Рет қаралды 2,673
2 жыл бұрынNovelist and professor Bridgett Davis will share the story of her mother, who ran an illegal street lottery in Detroit for more than thirty years. Fannie Davis’s numbers operation provided a middle-class lifestyle for her family, but it was built on a risky foundation: an illegal gambling racket she managed to keep going despite constant law enforcement scrutiny and challenges from rivals.

I am in the UK but I love the stories of the '' Numbers Racket '' and how it ran on a daily basis -A Big win could alter your future - The only other person I have seen talk about the Numbers in detail on here is Joey Diaz on the Joe Rogan Podcast

My dad knew an armenian guy that would clock in at Ford Motor Co, and then immediately leave to drive around collecting money for numbers. My dad said he mysteriously got shot to death in a bar for being "in between a spat", and the 2 shooters only got like 2.5 years.

Taraji P Henson, Tiffany Haddish, Kim Fields would be good choices Vivica A. Fox and Nia Long would need to be in the cast.
