The State Lottery Commissions Are Managing People to Gamble

The data indicates that every single lottery game is regressive, meaning they take more money from people who are poor relative to those who are richer. On top of all of that, since lotteries are run by state governments, they are the ones running ads. They are managing people to gamble their money in this way, which can feel like an ethically murky thing for your government to be doing.
