State sponsored lotteries should be banned. These huge jackpots induce the hoi polloi to spend the rent money and grocery money on lottery tickets, which have essentially 0 chance of winning.

Not including how much the Govt and State make off this scam...
That lucky guy in Neptune doesn’t think it’s a scam. If you understand the odds and are not being fraudulently convinced to play, I don’t see how it’s a scam. Waste of money? Yes absolutely, but that could be said about many things.

I don’t think they should be banned entirely, but holy moly there should be caps on them! There is no reason whatsoever for them to work this way, with one pot expanding and expanding obscenely, enticing millions of people to throw good money after bad chasing a dream. They should put in rules so that once a pot reaches, say, 50 million or so, keep selling tickets but split the winnings so that more people have chances to win. It’s just obscene and harmful to create these hideously bloated pots (like 50 million isn’t hideously bloated enough!) again and again. It truly makes me ill! There has got to be a better way to manage these things that benefits society a bit more.
Las Vegas influence is just destructive enough when kept to the desert.
Inflation was 30% over the last 3 years. Take the money.
