It is not a scam per se...but all gambling is stacked in favor of the "house" winning, and the odds are greatly stacked against you. The truth is in most all cases you will always put more into it than you'll ever get out of it. It's gambling, and that's the nature of the game.

Of course. Lotteries are essentially a tax on the poor.

@ninalanyon Not really. Taxes one has to pay. No one has to play lotteries.

@GunSmoke9 True in principle. But nonetheless it facilitates a transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich.

@ninalanyon Maybe the poor shouldn't play the lottery.

I compare it more to drugs
