I would venture to guess that many of the people who are spending an average $53 per month on lottery tickets spend a lot more than that on cigarettes and beer and in some cases weed.

Everyone I have ever known who lived on the system smoked, drank at least a six pack a week, had cable with multiple channels and often smoked weed on a regular basis.

It isn't just bad money decisions holding these people back, but there is a certain segment of the population that just feels like they shouldn't have to work and that by raising their kid or just not going to jail they are contributing to society. Saving these people a few dollars per month won't help them, they need a 180 degree change in attitude first and that likely isn't going to happen.
