> I'm not a fan of lotteries either but when someone plays a lottery, they have fair odds of winning. You do realize that lotteries have negative expected value right?

This just sounds like someone with an anti Wall Street chip on their shoulder. In most industries, the "winners" have millions in the bank...that's how they got the millions.
