Upvoted for the mention of state lotteries.
- EasyMark 2y agoI think getting wiped out financially by lotteries is still pretty rare in comparison to stuff like sports betting and drug use.
- galleywest200 2y agoState lotteries at least fund positive things, instead of just private profit. WA State as an example: https://www.walottery.com/PressRoom/Details.aspx?id=12129 https://www.walottery.com/PressRoom/Details.aspx?id=12129
- oceanplexian 2y agoMy state makes lotteries illegal but I still support gambling. It’s one thing for someone to get ripped off in a private transaction that you can walk away from. However the government is a monopoly, and has a monopoly on violence. Giving a mafia that can take your house away or put you behind bars their own casino is an incredibly bad idea.
