It serms incredible to me to give over a billion dollars to a random person.

    You sound like a recent Econ grad wielding little fun facts you learned to throw in peoples faces. Unnecessarily judgmental. People waste money on all kinds of things every day. It’s not a problem if it isn’t being done to inappropriate levels.

    Hurr durr tax on the poor.

      The lottery is literally a regressive tax both in concept and practice and I’m not really sure how you can view it any other way.

      Ok but you sound like an asshole trying to belittle someone for the most basic facts. I love how you talk down and try and frame me as a youth, guessing you’re either pretty young yourself or need to stop with pathetic ageism personal attacks instead of debating the subject.

      Also I guarantee you buy lottery tickets and are mad at the second paragraph, stay mad salty kid, spend your retirement fund on little pieces of paper.

        You chastise me for implying you are young, and then immediately call me young.

        You then attack the use of ageism and proceed to do it to me after.

        Wow what inconsistent stupidity.
