Any area that is fun, we will find excess and mistakes. We find this with food. There are people who eat too much food. They abuse the market for food. The problem is the excess.
Lotteries are for most people fun.
And my vision of a free society is one where people are able to choose the kinds of fun they have, provided they do not infringe upon the rights of others. Lotteries clearly meet that classification, and I believe the government should do nothing to prevent private entrepreneurs from offering lotteries. Of the people who play the lottery, it's pretty broad based. So, the majority of our play comes from mostly the middle income and upper-middle income players. Not at all.
