        I didn't see anyone twisting my arm to spend my money on a ticket? It's called free will. Maybe folks like to dream,

        The lottery is a regressive tax on the poor and uneducated.

        They're not forced to buy the tickets. Are the liquor/tobacco stores pushing them on welfare?

        There is a choice to buy lotto tickets, but reality, it's sells bcs HOPE, fragile Hopes. It's a tax on the poor.. that's it, nothing less.
