I say we tax lottery winners 99.99999% of their earnings. They didn’t work hard for that money, so why should they have it? If you win $200 million on a $2 ticket, you should just get the $2 back. It’s only “fair”.
It’s going to be hard to sell lottery tickets if the your one in 10,000,000 chance only nets you your two bucks back. If you don’t like the lottery, be above board an just call for it cease. Killing it with stupidly high taxes is just stupid.
