The people who do lottery tickets are poor people who need the money. The government funded programs should be coming from the rich people.

I think most people buying a lottery ticket know that it's a loss on average. I think people buy it for the experience and the dreams that it represents. From that perspective, I don't think that it's a scam for most people but rather just buying a slice of fantasy
