RE: Why Do People Play the Lottery?
that's fair enough, I was mostly being facetious
I think it's not so much that lotteries are a grand conspiracy to keep us quiet as more of an open way to tax people that are less well off which is annoying to me
Well, I’d say it’s both. Two birds, right! I think most people who play inherently know the odds, but do feel trapped and use it as desperation/hope. And I can empathize with why they do.
I understood your facetiousness, and your article was well written and I should have included that in my original comment. I just had another perspective to add!
