She may have 27 million reasons why, but most people that play lottery never win. Of course I spend some things frivolously, but I’m also not a single mother of 2 kids working 2 jobs trying to pay for them

The lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math, and I find it interesting that most winners are people who can least afford to buy tickets. It is a state sponsored money drain on the poor.

Here in Alberta, we call it the poor man’s tax. They don’t pay much if any tax because of no income or very little, or under the table, but they buy lottery tickets. Hence we call it a tax.

I refuse to blow my money on things like this. I work hard, I make a lot, but I dang well work for it.

On the other hand, good for this lady that it worked out for her, and I hope She either knows Jesus already or finds him, because that’s the most important thing. Then I hope she makes wise decisions with this windfall.
