Seems appropriate, given that the lottery results in people who are bad at math getting scr*wed.

The whole lottery concept is fascinating and horrifying at the same time. Perhaps the most ironic thing about lotteries is you can't buy the tickets with a credit card ... 'cause that would be irresponsible.

This country has fallen down into the sewer and can’t get up.

As Freud might have said:

“Sometimes a lottery ticket is just a lottery ticket.”
