These state run SCAMS are a tax on the poor. While I am happy for this woman it will do nothing but get others like her to throw their money away at the false notion that they, too, will win.
The poor pursue simple pleasures, a bottle of beer, a pack of cigs, and a lottery ticket. Don’t think you would be doing them any favor taking them away. They would just be poorer.
Maybe, but it will be their decision to buy the tickets, not the governments. If you want to be up in arms about taxes, and I suggest we all should be, get upset about the taxes we are forced to pay at gunpoint,such as income tax, not the volunteer ones, such as lottery.
