Ouch. Even with healthy skepticism towards Bitcoin’s future, the basic, publicly available math on lottery odds makes me so sad to have seen this time and time again. nostr:note1a2seg09q8cquw0jkh5xpcey676q87ttg4tulmgm26628smtmylas3cngln

The lottery is another tax.
They take half your winnings.
Just don't.
Lottery is a tax on the poor.
- Get people to spend their hard earned money on the chance to be “rich”
- One lucky SOB gets to be rich
- They tax the fuck out of the winnings
- 6 months later that SOB ran through their winnings.
- Repeat cycle
Playing once on a while to fuck around is fine. The guys spending $100 on lotto are the one scammed the most. They do it every day/week.
Mention that it is gambling and routinely offered by the state in places where gambling is unlawful.
