RE: Why Do People Play the Lottery?

in #life7 years ago

that's fair enough, I was mostly being facetious
I think it's not so much that lotteries are a grand conspiracy to keep us quiet as more of an open way to tax people that are less well off which is annoying to me

Sort:  

Well, I’d say it’s both. Two birds, right! I think most people who play inherently know the odds, but do feel trapped and use it as desperation/hope. And I can empathize with why they do.

I understood your facetiousness, and your article was well written and I should have included that in my original comment. I just had another perspective to add!
