Casinos will take your grandmothers last dollar and throw her out on the street when her credit runs out.

Somehow the regular people are smart enough to know the lottery is entertainment but they aren’t smart enough for investment wizardry. It’s just incidental, I guess that the government profits significantly from the lottery.

Listen, I’ve heard and understand the arguments “why” investors must be accredited. But I can’t help but find myself hearing these arguments and thinking “this is the government codifying the wealth gap”. When Slick Rick scams someone, it’s the worst thing ever. But when the government scams us all, it’s just the way the world works.

But hey, Powerball is just entertainment! Right?
