The lottery is a revenue stream for governments, it's not an expenditure or welfare program. Kinda the opposite. 
  
 Anyways it's kinda both. People are retarded but the system is still mostly stacked against people, especially the further down the socioeconomic ladder you go. If you are born poor, you're most likely going to stay poor. That said, people's demand are unlimited and people love to squander money.

The lottery is so greasy. Why dont poor people flush their cash on short-term options gambling like us classy people?
