I wish our wonderful country hadn't looked to lotteries to raise money. It's a disgusting way to run a country.

Lottery = a tax on the poor.

If I'm not mistaken, it's a state thing, not a national thing.

Ah yes, the 'something for nothing' attitude is alive and well in this country. Lotto tears at this countries fabric that was founded on hard work and ingenuity.

Lotteries have been around since the inception of our country. Our forefathers used lotteries to finance the revolution.

They did so a long, long time ago. Back around the time when this wonderful country was born.

It would have been a good idea if they used the money INSTEAD of tax money.
