I very much enjoyed reading Abrams and Garibaldi’s take on playing the lottery (February/March 2008), particularly timely since my 401K is suffering from our almost-recession. The reason, however, that I won’t be buying a lottery ticket is less about rationality and more about politics. I believe the need for our public school systems to use lottery monies essentially amounts to a tax on the poor; the working poor are paying for the HOPE scholarship and other important education initiatives that the wealthiest members of our country support the least.
