Because the name 'Lose a Lot o' your Money' was too long for the letterhead.

So win $1.2 billion if you play the two big boards....who throws their money away on this? it's ok, we won't judge you. liar

In general it's the same group of poor and unintelligent men who votes for the popular right. To vote for Mr Big Stuff and feel like Mr Big Stuff when that's the last thing you are, it's almost because they're the lowliest members of the 99.99% that they refuse to consider themselves in the 99.99%. The lottery is the bottomfeeding scab's hunger for significance.

Yeah, the appeal is to the 'everyman' who has dreamt of liberation from life's woes. The lotto kiosks are always filled with blue-collar hopefuls peddling their hard-earned wages on a pipe dream. And the online business? here in Malta, it's worth billions. With the owners paying 25% tax, and anything over 250k is free. Imagine that....

Aspiration for the aspirationless. The lottery plays an important role in George Orwell's 1984, the dream of winning is what helps them tolerate going nowhere and doing nothing worthwhile in life and for many of the proles in 1984 the lottery was their only reason to be alive.

It's always a temptation, but it's a scam, let's face it.
Think of it this way....every time you don'\t spend $10.00 on it, you win!

if one is an unlucky person. They dream and wish for winnings. As we all do. Some are lucky. Some are not. Life is selective in many ways.
