Mage, I agree on everything you said (I researched the topic of lottery winners a few years ago), apart from the "lottery is for stupid people". That is simply not true.
That is like saying that gamblers usually have below average IQ. Bullshit.
It is true that poor people buy lottery tickets more often than rich people, but it has nothing to do with intelligence.

You can call it the poor tax, or you can call it the stupid tax. Either works.
