The lottery isn’t racist but it does amount to a regressive tax. I voted against it and have never played it, and never will.

Ironically, the people they’re referring to are probably responsible for getting lottery legislation passed.

Same here. I’m 62 and have never bought a single lottery ticket for myself.
I have bought a [very] few for others, at their request, using their money.
But have never given the state a single dollar of my own money towards such frivolity.
