In twenty years, the Lottery has raised over $1.4 billion. It has been run successfully and efficiently.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you don't like the idea that most of the money spent on lottery tickets supports government programs, you should know that most of the earnings from mutual funds support investment advisors' and mutual fund managers' retirement.
Unfortunately, the current format for this lottery program are subject to fraud and abuse and leave our nation exposed to those who may seek to do harm on American soil.
If we find it hard to believe that winning millions might not be so lucky after all, we just don't have a good enough imagination. If I fantasise about winning the lottery, it doesn't take long before all sorts of worrisome potential consequences occur to me.
Forget the lottery. Bet on yourself instead.
A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking about real money.
Why do people play the lottery, or why do people gamble, period? You know, it's with the hope of winning something more.
Today I bought two lottery tickets, because I had a feeling that it would be now or never - they were both blanks. So I am not going to be rich after all. Nothing at all to be done about it.
I despise the Lottery. There's less chance of you becoming a millionaire than there is of getting hit on the head by a passing asteroid.
Twenty years and $40 billion. They seem like good round numbers.
Last year people won more than one billion dollars playing poker. And casinos made twenty-seven billion just by being around those people.
