I think so. The state govt. that does the lottery already took their money off the top (and are supposed to use it for schools...not sure anybody really knows what they actually do with it lol)
Then millions of people buy their tickets and try their luck.
You make the win of a lifetime and only get 1/3 of what you thought you were getting.
Where is the rest of the money? The govt. has it.
Seems kinda shitty to me. And again...we were all told that the State Lottery was going to send massive amounts of money to the schools. When I lived in Fla. and South Carolina we were told that.
And still the schools were strapped financially. Despite property taxes, federal money, AND the state lottery they still barely had enough money to run. Makes you wonder where all that money is really going (probably "administrative" costs and salaries for bureaucrats)
