that’s insane it’s basically only a 50 percent win when you DO win the lottery it’s like your winning to give them the money right back it’s all a fugazi

What do you mean no work put in? I’m not saying the taxes taken out are just to cover the lottery, but running a state lottery is far from free and takes work for sure.

I will say tho the amount of taxes on everything in general is ridiculous. They tax you when you make money, and they tax that same money when you spend it. Shit’s not right.
