So, I'm watching this fluff piece on the local news before I head to work, and the field reporter is yukking it up with people waiting in line at some "lucky" liquor store to play Powerball. Some people lined up for two hours before the store even opens. I'm thinking, it's Tuesday morning, and you have time for this? Don't you have a job or children to get to school? And, if you're playing your same "lucky" numbers, why should it matter where you buy your tickets? Just hit the local 7/11 and move on with your day.....
Then the camera pans along the line of people which wraps around the block - a real "Murderer's Row" of the dregs of humanity, which brought me to my topic. You're already collecting free money from the government, you've already won the lottery - and you're a huge part of the reason we even need the lottery. So, as long as you have that welfare card or EBT or SNAP, you're not allowed to play the lottery. Fair enough?
