Lotteries – the big Jackpot – Its My Turn
Did you ever notice that it is usually the poorest elements of our society that spend the most time and effort on the lottery or the lottery , waiting to “win the big one”. “It’s my turn”. “Wouldn’t it be nice to win the jackpot”.
These people actually believe that first of all that the are going to become “rich” by someone picking their number out of a hat or a mechanical device just stopping at their name , number or ticket. These fools spend great amount of time – standing in line waiting to buy tickets, figuring out the “magic number” or “combination” and as well endlessly comparing their tickets for that big win. Sure a bit of entertainment for a small amount of money is fine. But to “invest ” large sums when the chance of return is next to nil.
Lotteries can be considered to be yet another tax – this time on the poor , gullible and downright foolish.
