Its a well known fact that the lottery is more popular amongst the poor.
The poor often have only little hope. Saving 9% of their money will not suddenly make their problems go away. They often have to much debt and financial problems allready.
The people that do not understand this and comment in this thread saying stuff like that they should pay for more education or that these people are keeping themselves down are ignorant people.
These ignorant people are the ones that should pay a form of idiot tax instead of the poor....
