When I said signing a Change.org petition meant you were a feckless retard, I really meant buying Powerball tickets. I know losing money is fun. Who doesn’t love to lose money? It’s for the children after all. One out of ever billion dollars spent returns to the classroom where almost twenty-percent of it is spent on classroom education. Powerball mania is sweeping the nation as the world’s worst gambling payout scheme continues to convince the homeless and large groups of officemates that you have a bigger chance of winning the greater the pot.
The lottery is a solid reminder that while the government cracks down on FanDuel and DraftKings, they’re not doing so in your interest. They’re doing so in their interest. Powerball and other state and multi-state lotteries make a shit load of money. They are the biggest operators of gambling in most states not named Nevada or New Jersey. New York made $3.1 billion last year off the lottery. They don’t get crap from fantasy sports gambling cover rings operating out of unincorporated Yemen. They cleared the mob out of the numbers game. Now the online operators. What do I do with my gambling addiction now? Are you serious? I plunk down a mere two bucks and the birthdays of the kids the court took away from me and I win a billion? Fuck yeah. Rent money won’t matter when I’m living in a mansion.
These guys screamed for joy when they thought they had the winning numbers. They didn’t. They never will.
