Rich people don't need more money, poor people need it. I'm all for poor people playing the lottery as long as they don't go overboard. A ticket or two a week isn't going to kill them. Sadly, most poor people I've known spend more than that on beer or cigarettes in one day. I'd rather they spend $10 a week on lottery tickets that might actually get them somewhere than to spend it on alcohol that is just going to make their situation worse.
