The lottery is the biggest form of rip off in the gambling world, not even Keno or square bingo have such a hold. Ohh well, at least if you play, you get to fill the coffers of the bureaucrats that keep this country afloat.
You know it is sad, my own Dad loves playing the numbers. I told him to write down his numbers everyday that he plays, put it along with the money in a shoebox. At the end of the year I will give him any winnings out of my pocket. Policy has been run for hundreds of years making millions for the rackets. The Government seen that and took it over.
