How do we get rid of the lottery?
you'd have to pay more taxes.
KEK I feel your pain
increase taxes
Who cares? Let the idiots spend on the lotto. If it bothers u that much, dont live in the fucking ghetto.
Who needs 401k when u got break the bank scratchers?
Nobody every wins the Lottery.
In NC, somehow it's against the law now to broadcast who actually won.
What better scam is there?
you read a book and educate yourself out of Fantasy land .. when you out of fantasy land you help out get out of it and so on
you help other getting out of it
People like gambling, user. End the lottery and they go private.
Good point.
lotto is an idiot tax plain and simple if you are dumb enough to play it you deserve to lose your money.
What is more pressing is what the hell you could need to buy at a gas station? You can pay for gas at the pump. Everything else they sell is marked up by 20-30% over a local grocery store.
My calc professor described the lotto as a tax on people who are mathematically illiterate. It's essentially a retard tax.
Tbh idk why you'd wanna get rid of it. If you see it for the scam that it is, just don't participate.

Beat that.
In my experience gas stations are cheaper if you're buying singles but equal or more expensive if you buy bulk.

What's the problem user?

Give people a better standard of living.
Social contract and all that. Capitalism is anti-human.

>thinks he is clever because didnt fall for the lotto jew
Buy in bulk, control your spendings. If you are a regular buyer then it must be either alcolol or unhealthy snacks. Do yourself a favor and kick that habit.
>Stops by gas station to pick something up
> Bothered that people waste their money
At least they're paying normal face value, you're probably paying double or more.
1984. Winston said that no one ever really won the lottery. They just staged the whole thing. Basically a way to get money for the party back from the proles.
hahahahahahaha i love you Jow Forums
