The lottery i think it sucks to win

My standard reply to those who asked if I bought my tickets yet was that I already pay taxes enough to the State.

Sure, not only poor buy tickets but if you are financially disadvantaged, those extra dollars spent have a greater impact on those who can least afford to do lottery.

The vast majority of buyers are low income.  They will hit for $1000... not realizing they spent $5000 on tickets.  Nothing wrong with playing for fun though but buying lotto tickets is not an investment strategy or retirement plan! 

I buy like $100 worth of tickets a few times a year when pot gets up around several hundred million.  I figure someone has to win.
