Seems like you rather love em or hate em. I live a block away from a lotto ticket store and it always shocks me that there is always a line up of people to spend money there.
My friend also spend much of his paycheck on tickets and numbers. When i tell him its a waste he says "you wont say that when i win"

I think its another gimmick to oppress & enslave the poor. A mean one at that

Might as well go to the casino where you actually have a little control over the games.

I live in an area with several poor people living off welfare, I see pathetic morons buy tons of lottery tickets at the begining of each months, along with shitload of beer, then I see them attempt to bargain beer prices for the rest of the month, its so retarded...
You sit on my balcony for an hour, you'll see at least 2-3 drug deals, 1-2 drunk ass person yelling shit at random strangers, you might get lucky and see them fail to open a door and smash their faces on the concrete...
Once, we were coming back from a bar at 3 am, as we were exiting the taxi, some old crazy bitch ran at us and yelled "YOU KIDNAPPED MY CAT", no need to mention we were all hammered as shit, my roommate ended up trying to convince her that her cat was dead, and she was having delirium, she kept saying it was impossible, that her cat couldn't die.... It was sad as shit, then the next week I see her at the convenient store infront of my place, buying 2x 12 packs of coors light (omfg such delicious trash beer!), she stared at me like she was gollum or something, yelled at me to leave her cat alone and left...

There's a lady in my neighborhood who accused me of stealing her cat too. She knocked on my door at like 1am looking for it and I said I'd call the cops if she came on my property that late again and she replied, "Go ahead I'll tell them you killed my cat!!!"
Pretty sure I've seen the same lady yell at trees.

Most of the people I've talked to that play the lotto see it as more of an exit plan, a way out of poverty, whereas to someone with money, it's just a game.

I get them once in a blue moon but I played them pretty solid for a couple months once and won a bunch of money I forgot to redeem that expired.
My dad buys 1 lotto ticket a week

Maybe they should come up with a better plan, you know, like working or something.

i play every so often, but my chick plays more than i and usually just wins her money back.
in the past year shes won 150.00 and a couple 20.00s. ive won a 120.00 and my money back, but i lose more than i win so i try not to buy em.
i think its a false sense of hope thing. people do win pretty big so its not completely crazy for one to think they too could be one of the big winners.

Learning to love life by living through loss and mistakes
Lessons learned then gradually surfacing, Letting go, stripping naked to scream
I am not perfect nor do I strive to be, I am alive in this world of face first falls and public breakdowns
I'm a retarded, disfigured clown
Dying to be heard through the simple art of letting this heavy wall finally fall
I'm an equal being of no race, or color, a hallucination if you will
Sneaking into the lives of strangers, and letting them fall apart to a new rhythm just to feel better
