The Powerball is run by the state. It’s really a tax on people who don’t understand probability. So really not sticking it to some corporation, but stealing from every citizen.
Ah yeah, that’s not as nice as I was picturing then. I still can’t help but side with the guy at least a bit though… it’s just something about the predatory nature of lotteries. In fact it’s almost more offensive that it’s run by a government haha.
Normally I’d agree with you on the basis of reason alone, but I think lottery companies can stand being gouged once in a while.
Edit: shows how little I know about lotteries haha
