The lottery i think it sucks to win

[Maxmars]

I think the lottery is rigged. What do you guys think?

I can't address things in Japan, but generally speaking, you and many MANY others think it is somehow rigged/fixed... or at least a 'deception' at work.

The issuing lottery authority usually gains money at least equal to the amount it pays out whenever it does.  The odds of significant payout are astronomically small, so other than that they just 'keep' the money.

The amounts of actual payout are extremely small, relatively speaking, compared to the amount of money they "make."

Here are some interesting comments which seem to show a lot of folks decrying lottery as an opportunistic exploitation of those who can least afford it.
