Oh. MY. GOSH. You cannot be serious?
By the way, the majority of funds in the lottery are paid in by the poor and middle class. Studies show that generally speaking, the lower you are in the income brackets, the more likely you are to buy lottery stuff. So that money is basically just the poor folks money in the first place.
My take on lotteries is they should be done away with completely. There should be no state run games of chance. We would be much better off if all the money spent on the lottery was spent on basic needs or used toward bills and debts.
