Granted, but lotteries are voluntary.
Now, if they forced everyone to buy a ticket I’d have a problem with them.
Things were a lot simpler in some ways when there were only a couple million people in the country.
I’m not a big fan of lotteries simply because I don’t gamble. However I might take part if I knew the money went to good use where it was supposed to go.
Reminds me of a story from several months back here in Michigan.
